A number of public infrastructures and places or areas located on the public domain in Geneva have been closed until further notice to limit the spread of the new coronavirus. Other public spaces have been specifically designed to take into account the extraordinary context of COVID-19.
Reopening of public infrastructures
Markets and food stands
Despite the suspension of all markets, which are major meeting points, since March 16 in accordance with the Federal Council ordinance, isolated food stands have been opened on the Plaine de Plainpalais and on Place de la Navigation since April 16 to sell basic food products from the region. The system enables as many traders as possible to sell their products and prioritise producers.
From Monday 11 May 2020, all markets, except Grottes market, reopen (usual hours and days).
