The Canton of Fribourg has announced today that as of today, 11 pm, a maximum of 1,000 spectators will be allowed at major sporting events. The Canton of Neuchâtel and the Canton of Jura have, however, taken the approach the Canton of Valais took earlier this week.

In both those cantons, contact sports will no longer be allowed for the general public. While the professional sports team will still be able to host their games, they will have to do so without spectators.
