International flights ban extended to end of June

Mauritius has extended its international flight ban to the end of June owing to the risk of importing new cases of COVID-19. 

Most flights to the island have been suspended since early March. Under the latest Cabinet decision, no tourist arrivals are being allowed into the country.

Mauritius is currently on the UK government’s amber list. The Foreign Office, though, has advised against all but essential travel to the island. 

The FCDO said accommodation remains closed to tourists. Measures including mandatory mask-wearing and social distancing remain in place.
