Switzerland frequently adds and subtracts countries from the list on the basis of infection rates.
While in some cases, a new addition will be announced with immediate effect, in other cases countries are added to the list several days after the announcement.
In countries which share a border with Switzerland, regions rather than the entire country are added.
