A group of Swiss business leaders and lawmakers have demanded the government speed up vaccinations and develop a plan for its nationwide testing drive to tackle the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the country.

“Each part of the testing and vaccination programmes are being delayed and are not being implemented properly,” he told Reuters. Cases are also surging in neighbouring Germany. According to the Robert Koch Institute for Infectious Diseases, the number of cases there per 100,000 population over a week stood at 103.9 on Sunday, above the 100 threshold at which intensive care units can no longer keep up.

They fear the government could miss its goal of vaccinating everyone in Switzerland by the end of June after recent comments in parliament and demanded it to step up its efforts to meet the target. The uncoordinated distribution of tests “may even have a counterproductive effect, because it may lead users into a false sense of security,” it added.
