Hope this will at least put some pressure on those 3 countries.

Why not require reciprocity from Australia or Canada?

The Swiss government will impose a ten-day quarantine on arrivals from 'high-risk' countries from Monday, July 6th.
The quarantine requirement will be imposed due to increases in new infections.
"Since mid-June, the new coronavirus has experienced an upsurge in Switzerland after infected people entered the country from Schengen and non-Schengen states" beyond Europe's open borders zone, said the government.
"Consequently, from July 6, anyone crossing the border from certain regions must quarantine themselves for 10 days," the Federal Council said.
The list of countries will be published on Thursday.

What is the source of that statement on Switzerland?
Apparently they've had imported cases from the Balkan countries, such as Serbia. So they've allowed some entries from these countries for awhile now, even before this new Schengen list of third countries were published.
Of course the EU/Schengen list includes Montenegro and Serbia now.

I'm a EU citizen based in the US. Will I be able to fly to France directly at the end of July?

I hope Switzerland goes for a more relaxed quarantine approach like Germany (50 infections per 100,000 in 7 days) than the stricter ones like Montenegro (20 infections per 100,000 in 14 days). Would be a shame if after relaxing their restrictions, they end up effectively banning entry again from many countries.
It does however seem the Balkans are the main source of infection coming into Switzerland from what their government/media are saying.

Hopefully does not include the UK, as we are now being allowed into places like Czechia due to the infection rate falling.

Also, while the thread is all about tourist travel, business travel is slowly ramping up in Europe now. The company I work for changed their policy last week to allow business travel, on a voluntary basis within Europe. I don't know anyone who has booked a trip though, and most are still working from home (again voluntarily).

The British PM's father flew to Greece (Via Bulgaria??) and was tested for COVID-19.

'All they wanted to know where I was coming from and what I was doing. Then I had my temperature taken and was swabbed twice.'
