How accurate is travelcheck?

I just filled it out (stay in the uk less than 24 hours), freedom of movement...

and it seems to suggest that I need to do a test on day 4-7... but NOT QUARANTINE! No questions on whether I'm vaccinated or not. On hold with the BAG, but I doub't they'll answer within an hour or two... At least they have new music...

Short update as the BAG answered the phone faster than I thought...

I was directed to this page:

in particular:

So, it seems like travelcheck is actually right - no quarantine for me!!!

The interesting thing are these exceptions:

.19 persons who prove that they have been vaccinated against Sars-CoV-2; the persons who are regarded as having been vaccinated and the duration for which the vaccination is valid is regulated in Annex 1a;

.20 persons who can prove that they were infected with Sars-CoV-2 and that they have recovered; the duration of the exemption is regulated in Annex 1a;

but these are not valid for the UK:

1ter When entering Switzerland from the countries and regions listed in Annex 1 number 2, the exemptions from the requirement to be tested and to quarantine under paragraph 1 letters c, d, g, h, i and j do not apply. Children under the age of 12 are however exempted from the requirement to be tested.23

Clear as mud

Are you actually just transiting through U.K.?

I did - I'm at home in CH... I actually was "fortunate" enough to transit through BOTH UK and Belgium on the same day...

... better music on the Hotline ... no quarantine, it's all going your way!

FYI - I just discovered the confirmation email from the health authorities in my spam inbox, not terribly helpful. It arrived within an hour of me completing my form, so if you haven't got one yet, check your spam.
