Coronavirus update from St Gallen Townhall
The government of the Canton of St.Gallen welcomes the tightened measures of the Federal Council. For them, the protection of the population has top priority. Because the number of enquiries is increasing significantly and these concern more and more non-medical areas, the government is expanding the telephone hotline. In addition, the government is obliging day-care centres to continue operations. The government appeals to people over 65 years of age or with a previous illness: “Stay at home!”. Anyone who does not belong to a risk group should help the people concerned wherever possible, for example by shopping for them or by calling them regularly. https://www.sg.ch/news/sgch_allgemein/2020/03/gemeinsam-gegen-die-ausbreitung-des-virus.html
