Hundreds marched in Bern yesterday – protesting at the ongoing anti-virus measures.
The marchers called for the end of mask wearing requirements and for the government not to introduce the compulsion to show a Covid vaccination pass to access restaurants.
Police say the march was peaceful and estimated the numbers at around 700.
Riot squads remained on standby – but no arrests were made.
