Travellers are reporting problems with the new rules for those entering Switzerland.
For the last week, anyone coming into Switzerland has to have a negative PCR test.
But while they are more accurate than an antigen test – they are more expensive, the results take longer to arrive and, crucially – someone who has had Covid and recovered can show positive for weeks – long after they were contagious.
Franco Muff, the Swiss travel ombudsman, is highly critical of the new measures. He says many passengers are worried and some have been stranded abroad as airlines have refused to allow them onboard.
Some papers are suggesting passengers book flights to airports near the Swiss border and then take the train into the country.
