Update 5  (15/05/2020)

Mauritius is currently in its final week of complete lockdown enforced by the local authorities to contain the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). So far, the country has had a total of 332 positive COVID-19 cases, out of which 320 have fully recovered and there has unfortunately been 10 deaths. Therefore, as at date there is NO active COVID-19 cases in Mauritius. No new cases have been reported in the past few days.

The strict confinement measures resulting from the lockdown started on 20 March 2020 and shall be lifted partially on Friday 15 May 2020. As per guidelines from the authorities, businesses and other institutions are expected to open gradually over the next two weeks, to culminate in a complete resuming of all activities on 1 June 2020. The airport however, will remain closed for the time being.

At Rogers Capital, we are putting all the necessary measures in place to ensure that our employees resume work progressively and safely.

Our business operations during this first phase will be as follows:

  • The majority of our staff will be working from home.
  • Where necessary, a limited number of employees will initially be operating from the office and on roster basis. Over the next few weeks, we will gradually augment the number of employees coming to the office. We wish to remind you that staff not at the office will still be working from home.
  • We will limit physical interactions as much possible and will for e.g. encourage our clients to hold meetings via conference calls in the spirit of maintaining strict safety measures in the short term.
  • Your relationship manager/usual point of contact remains available to you via email and mobile phone

We remain at your disposal and shall keep you updated of any new developments. We would like to reassure you and reiterate that you should not experience any disruption in our services despite the working arrangements stated above.
