Bar owners ready to fight possible vaccine passport rules

Wednesday, 24 February 2021 05:19

Bar and restaurant owners are lining up to fight any ideas that only the vaccinated will be able to enter.

A vaccine passport has been proposed by the health minister Alain Berset, but no other details have been released.

A spokeswoman for the industry body Gastrosuisse says they won’t accept a situation where people have to prove they’ve been vaccinated. She says visiting a restaurant is safe.

Some owners speaking to the Blick newspaper say restaurants should be open to everyone. One says it’ll be the same as compulsory vaccinations.
