Move aims to amplify Zambia’s renewable energy capacity
Mauritius has reopened nightclubs and bars, lifted restrictions on gatherings, and scrapped a public mask mandate as it eased Covid-19 measures in the Indian Ocean island paradise popular with holidaymakers.
Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth said Mauritius had achieved a very high rate of vaccination and could “enter a new phase” of the pandemic more than two years after it began.
“Difficult decisions had to be taken, including total containment with its consequences on the economy,” the prime minister said in an address broadcast late Tuesday on national radio.
“We have not been in a hurry to reopen our borders and it has been done in stages and we have noted that it is a formula that has worked. Now, it is with confidence that we can enter a new phase.”
Masks would still be required in some indoor settings such as health facilities and public transport, but no longer required elsewhere.
Restrictions on public gatherings and crowds at weddings, funerals and places of worship were lifted, he said.

Jugnauth urged the public to take precautions regarding mask wearing to help contain the spread of Covid, even if mandatory measures had been lifted.
Mauritius had fully opened its doors to international visitors at the start of October, hoping to rebuild its vital tourism industry after long months of isolation because of the pandemic.
But a month later it reimposed a raft of new Covid-19 curbs after cases surged.
