GENEVA - Switzerland on Saturday saw the number of cases of the new coronavirus in the country pass 20,000, as its death toll in the pandemic swelled past 500.

The health ministry said 20,201 people in Switzerland had tested positive for COVID-19 as of Saturday morning - nearly 1,000 more than a day earlier.

The high incidence in Switzerland could in part be linked to the fact that it is among the countries that have administered most tests per capita. In the past 24 hours, the country has conducted nearly 7,000 tests, including 975 that were positive, the health ministry said.
