Business Mauritius recommends work resumes after curfew lifted

Business Mauritius recommends that its member companies resume operations on Wednesday 14 October, after the curfew is lifted and as roads are passable and buses are running normally. Schools and crèches remain closed, while the metro is not operating that day, the organisation says in its statement.

Business Mauritius, the organisation representing Mauritian businesses, has recommended that its members resume their usual activities on Wednesday 14 October 2026, following the lifting of the curfew. However, it asked them to follow the authorities’ instructions and assess safety conditions in each region and at each workplace, according to its statement published the same day.

The organisation says roads are passable and buses will run normally, despite incidents during the night. Schools and crèches remain closed, while traffic resumes in Mauritius following the lifting of the curfew.
