Art. 72 FNIA from 2024

Art. 72 ⁽¹⁾ COVID-19 test on deportation

¹ In order to ensure the enforcement of removal or expulsion or expulsion from Switzerland under Article 66a or 66a^bis SCC ⁽²⁾ or Article 49a or 49a^bis MCC ⁽³⁾ , foreign nationals are required to undergo a COVID-19 test if this is necessary in order to comply with the entry requirements of the person'"s native country or country of origin or of the competent Dublin State or the requirements of the airline concerned.

² The competent authorities shall inform the person concerned in advance about this requirement and about the possibility of the compulsory conduct of tests under paragraph 3.

³ If the person concerned refuses to undergo a COVID-19 test, the competent authorities for the enforcement of removal or expulsion or expulsion from Switzerland may conduct the test against the person'"s will, unless deportation can be enforced by other less stringent means. While conducting the test, no force may be used that could endanger the health of the person concerned. The compulsory conduct of COVID-19 tests is not permitted in the case of children and young persons under the age of 15.

⁴ The COVID-19 tests shall be conducted by medical personnel who have been specifically trained for the purpose. They shall use the least invasive form of test suitable for the person concerned. If the personnel take the view that conducting the test could harm the health of the person concerned, they shall not conduct the test.
