Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Mauritius has announced a further easing of Covid restrictions in response to its successful vaccination campaign and resultant low infection rate. From July 1, the requirement for facemasks has been relaxed.
\nHowever, 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.
\nMauritius reopened its borders on October 1, 2021, and over 500,000 tourists have subsequently flocked to the paradise island. The nation\u2019s double vaccination rate now stands at over 90 percent, and around two thirds of all over 18 have also received their booster shots.
\nMauritius 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.
\nArvind Bundhun, Director of the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority, said: \u201cWe are extremely pleased to note that we have reached a milestone of over half a million visitors since October 01.
\nI 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.<\/p>\n
