Confederation extends Covid measures
The Federal Council has decided to extend the payment of compensation to cultural enterprises and artists by two months until the end of June 2022.
According to the federal government's press release, the same regulation will apply to compensation for cultural associations in the non-professional sector. In doing so, the Federal Council is taking into account the after-effects of the pandemic on the cultural sector. After the lifting of all sanitary measures at the end of March 2022, the challenges in the cultural sector will not end immediately.
In particular, a hesitant return of audiences is still to be expected. Added to this are the uncertainties surrounding international tours and transnational performances by artists. These conditions continue to make it difficult to plan cultural events.
The Federal Council has therefore decided to amend the Covid-19 Cultural Ordinance and extend the support measures for the cultural sector by two months. This concerns the loss compensation for cultural enterprises and creative artists as well as financial aid for cultural associations in the non-professional sector.
