Q

How restrictive will lockdown rules be in Switzerland when they go into effect next month?

A

Quite restrictive, if you want to watch a ballroom dancing competition. Not so much if you want to pay for some human contact. To be more specific: Sex workers will be allowed to offer services again from next month, subject to strict hygiene measures. Prostitution is legal in Switzerland but has been banned since the start of the coronavirus lockdown, leading to fears that sex workers were working illegally under riskier conditions.

Because restrictions remain on large public events and contact sports — which are defined by the Swiss government to include ballroom dancing as well as boxing, judo and wrestling. Oddly, training will be allowed to resume for contact sports, even when it involves close personal contact.

So why the limits on ballroom dancing?
