Temperature screening at points of entry in public places in Seychelles is no longer necessary and wearing of mask outdoors is optional as health authorities have revised public health measures.

The announcement was made on Friday after a meeting of the COVID-19 Platinum Command. The Public Health Commissioner, Dr Jude Gedeon, said that the wearing of masks remains mandatory in buses and other public transport such as taxis, boats and planes.

The Minister for Health, Peggy Vidot, said that the "remaining restrictions on discotheques and mass gatherings will be lifted as of the 15th July if there is no new surge in COVID-19 cases from now to that date." According to the latest figures given by the Ministry of Health last week, Seychelles, an archipelago in the western Indian Ocean, has 269 active cases of COVID-19 and has recorded 167 COVID-related deaths from the time of first outbreak in the country.
