Nightclubs warn of existential threat

Geneva nightclubs are warning their existence is being threatened by Covid restrictions - and if they were tightened to the so called 2G plus – where everyone would need a negative test – they would rather close than try to function.

Elisabeth Jaquet from the Nightlife Grand Council – an industry body – says such rules would make the businesses non-viable. 

Clubs are already seeing a fall in customers due to the current restrictions. They believe any further rules will mean more will stay away.
