Ever since the Mauritian government announced the deployment of its Covid-19 vaccination campaign at the end of last year, it has made clear of its objective of achieving herd immunity at the earliest. In fact, the government is moving from rhetoric to action in a fast-paced fashion and as of the date of this writing, it has administered its 500,000th vaccine in its fight against the invisible enemy, bringing the total vaccination rate to 40% for the first dose (representing 1 in 2 adults).

As such, the government will activate the third phase of the de-confinement plan as from 1 July 2021. Members of the public will still be required to observe the following sanitary precautions:

• Social distancing
• Wearing of masks
• Use of hand sanitizers

Contravention of the above rules will entail fines.

As from 1 July 2021, the following activities will henceforth be allowed with certain restrictions:

• Gyms
• Community centers (alphabetical order will apply and access to people under 18 will be prohibited)
• Beaches (no picnics allowed)
• Public parks
• Restaurants and Food courts
• Open-air sports activities
• Cultural activities*
• Places of worship*
• Weddings & funerals*
• Public and private gatherings*
• Markets / Fairs
• Horse racing (only allowed on TV – no public attendance)
• Courts of justice (only allowed as per certain guidelines)
* with a maximum of 50 persons

Re-opening of borders

As announced in the National Budget Speech 2021/2022, the Mauritian borders will be opened as from 15 July 2021 to all vaccinated visitors for resort tourism. Visitors will then be allowed to leave the hotels after 14 days with a negative PCR test. As from 1st October 2021, depending on the evolution of the Covid-19 situation in Mauritius, , all vaccinated tourists with a negative PCR test will be allowed on the Mauritian territory without any restrictions. We will endeavor to keep our valued clients posted of the situation in due course.
