What are you basing this on?

The SEM (Swiss Immigration) site says "A person with US citizenship may not enter Switzerland directly from the USA, as the USA is considered a high-risk country. However, they may enter Switzerland from Canada – provided they satisfy the normal entry requirements."

Earlier today I saw a note on the Swiss site that said it only matters where you arrived directly from (in this case, Canada), but I can't find that text exactly now... still looking through my browser history.

If I fly SFO-YYZ-ZRH on Air Canada, there should be no terminal change, right?

Would I be required to quarantine in Zurich, or could I do so in Geneva (my final destination)?
