The Indian Ocean island paradise of Mauritius imposed a raft of new Covid-19 curbs as it confronted an upsurge in cases despite a high vaccination rate.
Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth announced the restrictions in a televised address to the nation on Thursday, blaming people who were not abiding by health protocols for the increase in infections.
“The state alone will not be able to contain the spread of Covid-19,” he said.
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.
