The coronavirus undoubtedly dominates the general infection situation in Switzerland. It is followed by rhinoviruses and influenza viruses. However, according to wastewater data, the peak of the current Covid wave in Zurich may already be passed.
However, the figures remain very high. In the region of Bern, St. Gallen and Geneva, values continue to increase. In hospitals, which always feel the waves with a certain delay, we still observe an upward trend.
According to the “Tages-Anzeiger”, there are currently as many Covid hospitalized as since the Omicron wave of March 2022.
The OFSP observes an “increasing trend”
