The national press conferences were initially not translated into sign language.
Following lobbying by the SGB-FSS, sign language interpreters are now used at all press conferences for the three Swiss sign languages (DSGS / LSF/ LIS). These are provided by Swiss Radio & Television.
Furthermore, the Federal Office of Public Health has also published information about CONVID-19 in sign language on its website (DSGS / LSF / LIS / International Sign)
