Following a successful roll-out of its vaccination programme, international visitors will only have to spend seven days in one of Mauritius’s 14 "resort bubbles", as opposed to the previous 14-day requirement.
More than half (56%) of the Indian Ocean island’s population have received their first Covid-19 vaccine dose and 63% are fully inoculated.
Arvind Bundhun, director of the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority (MTPA), said the move was a "major leap" towards the full reopening of its borders when vaccinated travellers will be welcomed without restrictions.
