People in Switzerland will vote on Sunday on the government's health measures against Covid-19, in the wake of a large increase in new cases this month.
Voters will have their say on the modifications of a previous Covid law, which were adopted by the Swiss Parliament last March. According to a document from the Federal Council (Switzerland's federal government), the Parliament changed the law to "extend financial aid to people who could not be supported before or not enough," as well as "to improve the tracing of contact cases and increase testing capacity."
It also enacted the legal basis for the introduction of the "Covid certificate" -- or health pass -- "to facilitate travel abroad and to allow the holding of certain events," according to the Federal Council.
