I'm returning from a high-risk area and my child has to go back to school, what should I do?
The return quarantine also applies to children. Your child will be forced to miss school until the end of his/her quarantine. A negative test does not allow your child to return to school early and is therefore unnecessary.

Quarantine compliance will be monitored. In case of doubt on behalf of the cantonal doctor's office, or if a case is reported, the police will be summoned to carry out a check. Fines of up to CHF 10,000.- may be issued.
