Sunday's referendum is held in a country with one of the lowest vaccination rates in Western Europe.

Swiss Health Minister Alain Berset is in a bit of bind.

Switzerland's lockdowns were never as strict as its neighbours. People were allowed outside for exercise whenever they wanted and the schools only closed for a few weeks. And so, when the certificate was introduced and Covid tests stopped being free, life for the unvaccinated became difficult and even going out for a beer was suddenly expensive.

Among the crowds was part-time student Manuela. She refuses to get vaccinated because, she says, she is "a healthy young woman" for whom getting the virus poses little risk.ManuelaIn fact, the World Health Organization advises that, while young people are less likely to be hospitalised with Covid-19,And so, for fear of increasing opposition to the Covid certificate, the health minister dare not introduce any new restrictions ahead of Sunday's crucial vote.
