Abstract

On June 19, 2020, the Federal Council commissioned the FDHA to start a partial revision of the Epidemics Act (EpG). The law is intended to enable the federal government and the cantons to work closely together to protect the health of the population from future threats from communicable diseases and to take the necessary precautionary measures in good time. The revised law addresses the findings from the implementation of the EpG before the Covid-19 pandemic, the findings from the Covid-19 response, but also new developments, e.g. with regard to digitalization. The regulatory impact assessment (RFA) is an instrument for examining and presenting the economic effects of federal proposals. This RFA examines the impact of the revised EpG.
