ZURICH (REUTERS) - Switzerland’s health-care system could collapse by the end of the month if the new coronavirus keeps spreading at current rates, a government official warned on Tuesday (March 17).
Swiss authorities estimated that 2,650 people had tested positive for the coronavirus and said 19 people had died, while predicting cases will likely soar in the weeks ahead.
Exact figures were unavailable.

Koch urged residents to observe strict emergency measures ordered this week, including bans on events and gatherings, calling these critical in limiting the damage and protecting hospitals from a potential collapse.
“People who become infected today will only hit us in 10 days from now,” Koch said at a news conference.
“We have to make sure the infection rate goes down today, because otherwise, in 10 days (Swiss hospitals) won’t be able to handle it.”
She can take the two weeks off without losing her job since she’s a full time employee and we can afford it but if they extend it, that would hurt. We’re a one income family right now. Family of four on $1200/mth. We’re frugal to say the least. I’m set up to start making money from home this year but not if we drain our bank account self quarantining. Between the two of us, we have a combined work history of 45+ years and neither of us has ever collected unemployment so I think it’s time to lean on the system for a change, whenever the system will allow it.
