On March 22, 2021, Switzerland introduces a mandatory 10-day quarantine for those arriving from Bulgaria. This country has been added to the list of countries at risk and arrivals to Switzerland are subject to mandatory quarantine, regardless of the vehicle they use. Like before, citizens traveling from Bulgaria must show a negative PCR test upon arrival. The 10-day quarantine can be revoked no earlier than the 7th day, after a second negative test result. The entry regime is the same for the Principality of Liechtenstein.
