In Zurich, around 2,000 people from different Swiss regions took part in a protest organised by the Mass-Voll movement, accompanied by groups such as the Freie Linke and Aktionsbündnis Urkantone.
Meanwhile, in the Vaud capital, Lausanne, 1,000-1,500 people took part in a demonstration and march through the city, accompanied by the traditional Freiheitstrychler bell ringers, who who have become a fixture at many Covid-19 rallies.
Protests by groups opposed to the Covid certificate as well the government's Covid policy in general, have been frequent, especially in the Swiss capital, Bern, where they have on occasion turned violent. Saturday's demonstrations were without incident, the police said.
