| Covid-19 Updates @ 29 May 2020
|
| | The second and final phase of the de-confinement strategy was debated and finalized by the Cabinet earlier today andit was ultimately decided that the sanitary curfew will be lifted as from Midnight Saturday 30 May 2020. In a pressconference held earlier today, the Prime Minister cautioned that the situation will be monitored closely and he alsobroached on the possibility of reinstating a curfew should there be a second wave of infection. A series of precautionary measures and guidelines have been issued by the government including the wearing of masks which will be compulsory in public spaces. The government is also encouraging employers to continue the use of their work-from-home facilities.
It will be recalled that the Government of Mauritius placed the country under a sanitary curfew since 20 March 2020, which has so far yielded remarkable results with no residents having been tested positive for the Covid-19 for more than 30 days now – except for 3 imported cases relating to Mauritians who were repatriated from India and France and who were placed in quarantine ever since their arrival on the island. In line with the Government’s intention of easing the lockdown in a staggered fashion, the first phase was initiated on 15 May 2020 when certain economic activities were allowed to resume under strict sanitary guidelines and conditions.
