(Port Louis, 29 June 2022) The Republic of Mauritius has announced a further easing
of Covid restrictions in response to its successful vaccination campaign and resultant
low infection rate. From Friday July 1st, the requirement for facemasks will be
relaxed. However, it will be mandatory to wear facemasks in public areas such
as hospitals, port, airport and public transport. Moreover, upon arrival
tests for vaccinated and unvaccinated passengers have been waived.
Mauritius reopened its borders on October 1, 2021, and over 500,000 tourists have
subsequently flocked to the paradise island. The nation’s double vaccination rate now
stands at over 90 percent, and around two thirds of all over 18 have also received
their booster shots.
Mauritius is seeing huge demand from discerning international travellers who are
choosing the sun-kissed jewel of the Indian Ocean for its stunning scenery, safety and
security.
Responding to the latest easing of Covid measures, Arvind Bundhun, Director of the
Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority, said: we are extremely pleased to note that
we have reached a milestone of over half a million visitors since October 01. I am
confident that our post-pandemic recovery is well underway, and with the easing of
sanitary measures bookings for the second half of 2022 will be stimulated.”
