ZURICH (Reuters) - Switzerland on Saturday reported 6,100 coronavirus infections, some 25% more than a day earlier, and 56 deaths, the Swiss health ministry said, as hospitals in the canton of Ticino that borders on hard-hit Italy were under pressure.
“The situation in Ticino is very tense,” said Daniel Koch, head of the Federal Office of Health’s communicable diseases division.
The latest tally nationwide is up more than 1,200 cases in a day, while the deaths were up 13 from Friday.
