This is to prevent hospitals from being overstretched. It will take two to three weeks for this measure to have an impact on the situation in the hospitals,\u201d&nbsp;the statement of the Federal Council reads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsequently, all persons who can prove that they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, recovered from the disease, or those who have recently tested negative will be able to attend indoor places and several activities in Switzerland without being subject to restrictions,\u201d the website reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccess to cultural and leisure activities such as zoos, libraries, museums, fitness centres, water parks, swimming pools, and casinos will also be limited to only COVID-19 certificate holders. In addition, the certificate will also be mandatory for those who wish to access indoor sporting and cultural activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But those who enter those facilities without the certificate or proof they\u2019ve had the virus face a fine of more than $100.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEstablishments and event organisers that do not comply with the certificate requirement may be fined or even closed down. The cantons are responsible for monitoring compliance,\u201d&nbsp;the Council added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the U.K. is going in the other direction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlans to introduce vaccine passports for access into nightclubs and large events in England will not go ahead, the health secretary has said,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/uk-58535258\">according<\/a> to the BBC.<\/p>\n<p>Sajid Javid told the BBC: \u201cWe shouldn\u2019t be doing things for the sake of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A week ago, the vaccines minister defended the passports as the \u201cbest way\u201d to keep businesses open. According to the plan, citizens would have been required to show proof \u2014 whether of double vaccination or a negative COVID test \u2014 to be admitted into clubs and other crowded events.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. is also moving toward more rules.&nbsp;Dr. Anthony Fauci has expressed his support for COVID-19 vaccination requirements for air travel \u2013 as the Biden administration did not rule it out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would support that if you want to get on a plane and travel with other people that you should be vaccinated,\u201d the White House chief medical adviser said in an interview with theSkimm podcast,&nbsp;The Hill <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/healthcare\/571902-fauci-says-he-would-support-vaccine-requirements-for-air-travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, White House coronavirus response team coordinator Jeff Zients said the Biden administration is \u201cnot taking any measures off the table\u201d. And&nbsp;White House press secretary Jen Psaki said later in the day: \u201cWe are always looking at more we can do to protect and save lives. Obviously, he made a&nbsp;significant and bold announcement&nbsp;yesterday, so I don\u2019t have anything to preview \u2014 predict or preview for you, but we\u2019ll continue to look for ways to save more lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
