ZURICH/BERLIN, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Here are some of the main
factors that may affect Swiss stocks on Wednesday:

    SWISS  LHAG.DE 
    Airline SWISS will introduce mandatory COVID-19 vaccination
for its crews and flight personnel from Nov. 15, the Lufthansa
subsidiary said on Tuesday. "The action has been taken in
response to national entry restrictions worldwide, which are
seeing an increasing insistence on proof of such vaccination for
air crews, too," SWISS said, adding separate management of
vaccinated and unvaccinated crew members would make it
impossible to maintain reliable operations longer term.
