Abstract
Based on notification data the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown in Switzerland was assessed. While the incidence of tick-borne encephalitis almost doubled as compared to 2016-2019, a reduction in all other infectious diseases was recorded. The lowest reduction rates (<25%) were noted for legionellosis, hepatitis A, chlamydia infection and gonorrhoea.
Keywords: COVID-19; dengue; hepatitis; legionella; pneumococcal; sexually transmitted infections; transmission; typhoid.
