COVID certificate
The certificate requirement within Switzerland was lifted on 17 February 2022. For travel outside Switzerland, depending on the measures in place in the country in question, COVID certificates may still be required. For this reason, certificates are still being issued. The rules on validity in your destination country apply.
With the return to a normal situation, the authority to order potential measures is once again held by the cantons. This means it’s to your advantage to keep your COVID certificates somewhere safe.
Have you had a COVID-19 vaccination, had and recovered from the disease or tested negative (with a PCR test)? If so, you are able to request a COVID certificate on paper or in digital form in all cantons. The COVID certificate can be transferred to the COVID Certificate app.
