It looks like the new restrictions will go through mid- late January from what I read.
Remember, not any negative test results i.e. you take one from US to board the flight today and assume you can use it to go indoor for the next 3 days, that may not be possible, depending on how the establishment interpret and follow the rule (if to the last word). To be issue free, you need a test that is taken within Switzerland with QR code issued - every 2-3 days i.e. rapid antigen test valid only 48 hours not 72 - I could see that from one of my expired certificates from my last flight to Iceland i.e. date & time taken and an expiry all clearly shown.

Normally the establishment will use an app to validate your cert/QR, they won‘t be reading your QR cert/code, if the app check result says invalid that would be the end of the story.
