Not much changed regarding travel. Otherwise things like restaurants being able to serve guests inside the restaurants were mentioned. There will also be some sort of certificate available to vaccinated people, and people who have had the virus in early June.

With proof of completed vaccination (both shots, two weeks prior to the flight) or recent and fully recovered Covid infection, there are changes:
No need to isolate/quarantine on arrival, and no pre-flight test needed.
Note: Does not apply if coming from a country of "severe variant concern". There's no doubt a list of those.

Just to be doubly safe, what do they need to prove that I've been vaccinated? Is a CDC (USA) card sufficient?

I assume you meant to write "Swiss citizens returning to Switzerland" and not to "Sweden".

Citizenship or residency. I know that's what you both meant, but it's worth highlighting.
But yes, the new rule relating to isolation and testing for vaccinated persons doesn't alter who is and who isn't allowed into Switzerland. I don't know whether it applies to legal visitors (such as partners of Swiss residents).

And ... the UK gets added to the disaster list. No isolation or testing exemption.
