Mauritius has reached its vaccination target for herd immunity ahead of its planned reopening on 1 October, its tourism board has confirmed.

Mauritius reopened its borders on 1 October 2021 and has since welcomed more than 500,000 visitors

The immunity threshold, which was calculated to be 60% of adults, was passed on Monday (30 August).

From Wednesday (1 September), vaccinated travellers will be required to spend just seven days in one of the country’s 14 ’resort bubbles’, down from 14 days.

From 1 October, visitors will be free to visit the Indian Ocean island without restrictions, provided they submit a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours before arrival.
