Meeting up has become so complicated!

The ball is in our court: let's help each other

The Federal Council made its position clear yesterday. We all have a responsibility and must help to contain the coronavirus. This can only succeed if we stay at home, leave the house only for the most necessary errands, and help each other.
We must comply with federal regulations. If the contagion continues and we don't deal with it, the Federal Council will announce a strict curfew. Then the police and army will make sure we stay at home. Nobody wants that.
Take care of yourself and look out for others
Within what is currently allowed, there are things we can do to help each other. Neighbourhood initiatives have been set up all over the country. The ideas are simple: if you go shopping, for example, you could also do some shopping for someone who lives in your neighbourhood. If you have time and don't have to work, you could volunteer to look after the children of parents who have to go to work.
Updated 25.3.
We try to keep this page up to date with new initiatives. So if you've heard or seen anything, note it in the comments. It's about help at a Swiss or international level, which we can implement together.

Simon.Balissat@digitecgalaxus.chWhen I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
