Italians who work in Switzerland will now have to show papers proving they have a job before entering.
In a new measure, the Swiss government required Italians who work in Switzerland to show papers proving they have a job before entering.

Carinthia province said it would conduct “fever checks” at the border, while the Red Cross had begun mobile throat swabs by specially trained medics. In the French ski resort of Montgenevre, close to the border with Italy, the number of visitors were normal at the weekend. Local officials did not plan any specific measures for the moment.
