the Swiss are fast enough took a coronavirus under control. They have long passed the plateau, and the number of infections is falling so fast that it’s hard to believe. Our compatriot Maria Krasnova, who lives near Geneva, tells how it is managed.
given the fact that we have not had a true quarantine and there are no restrictions, we got off relatively well. Yesterday I read an interview with one of the leaders of the independent working group, consisting of scientists of various professions: virologists, immunologists, biologists, chemists, doctors, etc., which helped politicians to develop the right strategy in the fight against COVIDE-19.
now, he just explained why Switzerland had done a little blood. Although the Swiss have closed a little more than the Swedes, but the level of “supertote” people we were the same. No permits, restrictions of output, this is not even followed – all day long walk. In this sense, it was like everything was in a former life. However, little was where to go because the stores, restaurants, barbershops were closed.
What else played a role?
– first, the Swiss discipline and, as in Sweden, the credibility of the government. Therefore, without any restrictions people just believe the request to stay home. If you are sitting at home, you save others is the essence of the slogan “Solidarity”, it can be seen at every step.
second, the active work of the government, which at full strength every two days went to the press conference, where live all explained in simple language and reassuring the people that will soon be better. Everyone was glued to the screen.
Maria, to lift restrictions began when the decreased number of cases?
– First, there was a plateau when the growth stopped, and then began two weeks of non-stop decline. Now fantastic results! I always want to knock on wood to not jinx it.
We explained that, if sick 100 people or less, you can return to the beginning of this story, when traced contacts of each index case. In addition, with so many people infected it is possible to do universal testing, including those who has the slightest symptoms. A week ago we had 150, then 120, weekend – 80, and yesterday 25 people.
How to track every ill?
– next week starts to run a phone app via Bluetooth will keep track of the phones. This information will be stored 10 days in a database that a person was found in the case of disease and to find out who he had contact the last 3-4 days. And on Monday, the 11th of may, opening up restaurants. Visitors will be required to leave your name and phone number. Commit and the time of the visit. If someone took��t will not be difficult to figure out who this man was.
– Perhaps the restaurants will be social distance?
– the Rule is: between the tables at a distance of 2 meters or solid walls in human growth. Plus, the table can sit more than four people, except families with children who will be allowed to come in full force.
– Finish the phrase: “My first outing after the isolation was … “
– In the Barber shop! For women it’s amazing. Comb and curler to wind you can own, but to make the haircut and coloring better from the master. In the salon, as elsewhere, maintaining a safe distance of 2 meters. The master and client have to masked, and the beautician should have a protective screen – viber. This rule is in contact nose to nose!
of course, tools are sterilized, and babydolls goes in the wash or in the trash if they are disposable.
– What constraints are stored in the stores?
– Security admitted on the principle that one came out another went in. Disinfect everything: hand truck belt, which moves product. All wearing masks and gloves. When you go to the checkout, left one corridor, like at the airport before passport control. All buyers are at a distance of 2-3 meters and are waiting for distribution at the booths.
I almost never go to the supermarket and arrange shipping, but if still need, then choose the expensive shops, because there are less people.
– People are friendly to one another?
– Very. There is a small tension, as everyone is trying hard to follow the rules and be alert: do not come close and not to touch the other person.
You wrote on his page in social networks that the most optimistic model in Switzerland waiting for the second wave of the epidemic, from July to September, which will cover from 2 to 5 million people…
– a Very poor prognosis. We say: forget about the opening of borders, because if we can achieve a zero increase in patients in Switzerland, then we will be able to live only varyas in its own soup.
– I Remember when it all began you used extraordinary security measures. Even with my son who came to visit, they kept almost five-meter distance!
– Since we celebrated two birthdays and the Eighth of March, and our son who does not live with us, and in Geneva, all this time kept us at a distance. I have not touched it since the end of February! When he came on last week, we had the backs were portucalis.
