Covid-19 Pandemic
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that currently, and expected until 24 January 2022, a Swiss Covid certificate is required to access indoor areas of restaurants, cultural and leisure facilities, and events held indoors. The certificate offers great advantages for staying in Switzerland and is needed to access many Winter Universiade venues including all media areas such as the Main Media Centre, the mixed zones and the media tribunes. Therefore, all media representatives will need a Swiss Covid certificate or a foreign certificate that is accepted in Switzerland to participate as a media representative in the Winter Universiade.
Please refer to the website of Lucerne Tourism to find all the information on how to get a valid Covid certificate and further information on entry, protection measures and testing.
