  • Emergency patients, including accompanying persons, do not require a valid COVID certificate.
  • Visitors and accompanying persons (aged 16 and above) require a valid COVID certificate (with a form of personal identification) or proof of a negative test result to enter the clinic (rapid antigen test, max. 24 hours old or PCR test, max. 72 hours old).

Patients from abroad

Please note the current entry requirements regarding the coronavirus. 
If you specifically require a second Covid test after entry, this cannot be carried out in the clinic. In such cases, inpatient admission is only possible after a second negative test result.

State of health

Please only attend your consultancy or surgery appointment if you appear and feel generally well. If you experience flu-like symptoms before your appointment, please call your GP.

The result of the consultation will determine whether your procedure can go ahead as planned or if it needs to be postponed. The Federal Office of Public Health’s coronavirus check will also give you information on what to do next and whether you should take a test for COVID-19.

If your procedure needs to be postponed, you or your GP should contact our appointment scheduling team immediately.

Visiting rules

Visitors and accompanying persons (aged 16 and above) require a valid COVID certificate (with a form of personal identification) or proof of a negative test result to enter the clinic (rapid antigen test, max. 24 hours old or PCR test, max. 72 hours old).

Our visiting hours are as follows:

Monday to Friday: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday, Sunday and public holidays: 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

No more than one visitor per patient will be permitted in multi-bed rooms and no more than two visitors per patient in single rooms. Visits must be limited to a maximum of one hour.

Mask requirement and hand hygiene

During your visit, please observe the applicable behavioural guidelines (keep your distance, wash your hands thoroughly, do not shake hands).

On the instruction of the Cantonal Department of Health, masks must be worn throughout the clinic premises. You will receive a surgical face mask when you enter the clinic. Masks must be worn by everyone above the age of six. Please note that external certificates of exemption from mask-wearing are not valid at Schulthess Klinik (except in highly urgent cases, which will need to be clarified beforehand by the doctor providing treatment). If you are exempt from wearing a mask, you will, however, be required to wear a face shield. If you do not have your own face shield, you can obtain one from reception.

In accordance with recent Federal Council rulings, the 2G rule with mask requirement have been required for fitness centres since Monday, 20th December.

Please bring your certificate with you to every training session.
You will still need to wear a mask in the training room for the time being.
