Mauritius has registered two new cases of Covid-19, the first since 26 April, involving two people recently repatriated from India who had been quarantined on their return, local health authorities announced Sunday evening
They were among a group of 149 Mauritians repatriated from New Delhi and Mumbai on 9 May, who had been quarantined upon their arrival on the island.
The two new carriers of the virus, from the same family, are “in the same quarantine centre” and are “asymptomatic”, Dr Zouberr Joomaye, spokesman for the national communication committee on Covid-19, told AFP after making the announcement on television.

The two individuals had tested negative when they left India, but a new test at the end of their quarantine “proved positive,” he explained.
These two new cases “justify all the precautionary measures taken by the government.
However, since 15 May, the island began the first phase of its easing of lockdown measures with the gradual resumption of certain activities, in addition to essential sectors such as banks and supermarkets.
