Switzerland is lifting the remaining pandemic-related restrictions, pushing ahead with a plan to return to normal life after two years.

A mask mandate on public transport and in health-care facilities will be abandoned as of April 1, the Swiss government said Wednesday. People who test positive will also no longer have to adhere to a five-day isolation period.
