Mauritius Management and Prevention of COVID-19 Report (October 2020)
Mauritius is among very few countries in the world that have been able to contain the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in six weeks; that is from the first three cases reported on 18 March 2020 to the non-locally transmitted cases since 26 April 2020. This has been possible due to proactive measures taken by the Government of Mauritius including strong surveillance at the points of entry, starting initially with temperature check and screening of passengers from high-risk countries then to all the incoming passengers, enactment of new Quarantine Act, and the successful implementation of WHO advice, guidelines, and protocols.
