After a highly transmissible coronavirus variant – currently named B.1.1.529 – was identified in South Africa earlier this week, some countries such as Singapore, Japan, the United Kingdom and other European countries amongst others, have closed their borders to South Africa travellers. In light of this recent detection, the Mauritian Government announced its decision to close borders to South African travellers, citing concerns over the public’s health and safety. The closure will be effective as from Monday 29 November 2021. This decision falls in line with the Government’s series of stringent interventions to stall further infections – starting with imposing curbs to limit the spread of the delta variant, which drove a spike in local cases.
