The test took place at the end of March, BAG told Reuters on Sunday, adding the person entered Switzerland via a European country.
The first case of the Indian variant of COVID-19 has been confirmed in Switzerland, the Federal Office for Public Health (BAG) said, as other countries introduce travel bans to contain its spread.
