Based on current into, I require a proof of covid test + fill the passenger locator form.

Any concerns getting the boarding pass for the connecting flight? My routing GVA-LHR then LHR-ZHR-JNB-DAR. All flights on Swiss all the way to JNB.

Does Swiss check-thru luggage (on two Swiss tickets)?

Thx!

I doubt LX will check through on two separate tickets, but otherwise you should be admissible into the UK, so you won't be denied boarding in GVA. Whether there will be any entry restrictions at the far end given that you will have been in the UK is another matter. With luggage you can't stay airside.
