ZURICH (Reuters) - The Swiss government is pressing ahead with re-opening measures including for sporting events, shops, restaurants and museums, it said on Wednesday, even as it bans events with more than 1,000 people through August to curb spread of the coronavirus.

Border restrictions will also begin being eased from May 11 to allow families to reunite, officials said, while a "careful reopening" of restaurants will be permitted under strict conditions aimed at ensuring health and safety for guests and employees.
