Thanks
The coronavirus has created a grave crisis for the entire world population. With the illumination of the Matterhorn we have provided hope and shown solidarity. Now it’s time to say THANK YOU. Thanks to all the people who played a decisive role in dealing with the crisis. Especially thanks to the medical staff as well as the auxiliary personnel such as the military, the civil service and the fire brigade. Thanks to the people who ensure the supply, be it with food, drinking water, electricity or communication. And thanks to the people who have to prove leadership and make difficult decisions in their function. For all of you, the Matterhorn is shining today as a sign of gratitude.
In addition to the above, we would also like to thank the Swiss government, which has guided us well through the crisis so far and has ensured the economic survival of many companies by acting quickly. We now expect the Swiss government to take swift action that will enable the individual sectors to overcome the economic crisis as quickly as possible and in a forward-looking manner.
