NSTworld The small Alpine country of some 8.5 million people is one of the worst hit compared to population size, now counting 236 registered infections per 100,000 people.
The health ministry said 20,201 people in Switzerland had tested positive for Covid-19 as of Saturday morning – nearly 1,000 more than a day earlier.
At the same time, an additional 76 people died over the past 24 hours, bringing Switzerland’s death toll in the pandemic to 540, the health ministry said.The high incidence in Switzerland could in part be linked to the fact that it is among the countries that have administered most tests per capita. Drive-in testing stations have been set up in several places, including in the capital Bern, to help simplify safe testing for Covid-19.
Switzerland’s southern canton of Ticino, which borders hard-hit Italy, has registered most cases, followed by Geneva.
