schema:articleBody	Switzerland plans to reopen shops from March 1, the government announced Wednesday as it charted a path out of its coronavirus restrictions. The government said it planned to lift the anti-Covid restrictions imposed in December and January in monthly stages, as long as new, more infectious variants of the virus circulating in the country remained under control. "The Federal Council is aiming to achieve a gradual normalisation of social and economic life, and at the same time avoid a third wave of the disease," it said in a statement. "From March 1, shops, museums and library reading rooms should be allowed to reopen, as well as outside spaces at zoos and botanical gardens, and at sports and leisure facilities." The number of people allowed inside shops and shopping complexes will be limited, while face masks and physical distancing will be required. Up to 15 people will be allowed to congregate for private outdoor events rather than five at present. Meanwhile young people up to the age of 18 rather than 16 will be able to take part in most sporting and cultural activities. The government said it would take a final decision on February 24 after consulting with Switzerland's 26 cantons. A second phase of reopening is planned for April 1 with the opening of outdoor restaurant seating areas. People would also be allowed to attend sporting and cultural events. "Further reopening phases will follow at monthly intervals as long as the epidemiological situation allows. That way, there is sufficient time between phases to monitor developments," the government said in a statement. "More activities should be permitted progressively if infection rates are favourable and as vaccination rates rise." Nearly 543,000 people have tested positive for Covid-19 in Switzerland, population 8.6 million, while more than 9,000 people have died. More than 100,000 people have already received both their anti-Covid vaccine doses. The number of new infections, hospital admissions and deaths has continued to fall in recent weeks but the rate is expected to start slowing up. The percentage of new infections due to the variants of the virus is doubling every 10 to 14 days. Switzerland announced Wednesday that it ended 2020 with a record-breaking budget deficit of 15.8 billion Swiss francs ($17.6 billion, 14.6 billion euros), which it said was due to the Covid-19 pandemic. rjm/har
