Switzerland Reopens 15 Border Crossing Points

The Swiss government has decided to reopen 15 border crossings with Austria, France and Italy, in eight cantons, in its second phase of the partial easing of the COVID-19 temporary restrictions.

Switzerland shut the borders on March 25, as part of efforts to stop the spread of the  Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), 

Despite opening the new borders, the border with Germany will remain closed until May 15, for now.
