Mauritius borders are set to re-open after 18 months on Friday 1st October 2021 - with one of the highest full vaccination rates in Africa.
88% of the adult population in Mauritius have been vaccinated, although this does not protect us against new variants, it does play a key part in the process of getting things back to normal and enjoying a stay in paradise.
“We now all have to learn to live with COVID-19. The vaccination rollout in Mauritius was good and
the vaccination rate high enough to make it safe to now ask the population to resume their normal lives,
while respecting barrier measures” - Dr Laurent Musango
