Swiss Ice Hockey

A majority of the cantons are in favor of extending the current limit, the Conference of Health Directors (GDK) informs.

The GDK calls for strict regulations of major events.

The GDK writes that major events can contribute significantly to the further spread of the Coronavirus. As a consequence, they call for a strict regulation and an extension of the ban on events with more than 1,000 spectators until the end of the year - and maybe longer, if the epidemiological situation does not improve until November.

If a permit at the cantonal level will be required, the GDK points out that the situation would become very difficult. If the Federal Council should nonetheless take this decision, then the Confederation, the cantons and the sports and cultural sector would have to work out uniform criteria for all of Switzerland.
