CORONAVIRUS | Rapid rise of cases outstripped the state's ability to record new cases in real-time, says Koch.
Switzerland's healthcare system could collapse by the end of the month if the new coronavirus keeps spreading at current rates, a government official warned.
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. Switzerland has mobilised up to 8,000 military members to assist civil authorities and medical personnel.
In an attempt to deal with growing numbers of suspected cases, a large blue tent was erected overnight outside the University Hospital of Geneva to screen and test the sick.
