		</div><p>Swiss voters appeared set to approve by a clear margin legislation that would introduce a special Covid-19 certificate allowing only people who have been vaccinated, recovered or tested negative attend public events and gatherings.</p>
<p>A projection by the gfs.bern polling agency for public broadcaster SRF after voting ended on Sunday showed the measure, which is already in place, winning the backing of 63% of those who turned out. The referendum offered a relatively rare bellwether of public opinion specifically on the issue of government policy on fighting the coronavirus in Europe, currently the global epicentre of the pandemic.</p>
<p>The vote on the country’s “Covid-19 law”, which has unlocked billions of Swiss francs in aid for workers and businesses hit by the pandemic, came as Switzerland — like many other nations in Europe — faces a steep rise in coronavirus cases.</p>
<p>The Swiss federal government, unlike others, hasn’t responded with new restrictions. Analysts said it didn’t want to stir up more opposition to its anti-Covid-19 policies before they faced Sunday’s test at the ballot box — but that if the Swiss give a thumbs-up, the government may well ratchet up its anti-Covid efforts.</p>
<p>Rejection of the legislation would end the restrictions, as well as the payouts. In recent weeks, opponents have raised large sums for their campaign and drawn support from abroad.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, Swiss health authorities warned of a rising “fifth wave” in the rich Alpine country, where vaccination rates are roughly in line with those of its hard-hit neighbours Austria and Germany, at about two-thirds of the population. Infection rates have soared in recent weeks.</p>
<p>The seven-day average case count in Switzerland shot up to more than 5,200 per day from mid-October to mid-November, a more than five-fold increase — with an upward curve similar to those in neighbouring Germany and Austria.</p>
