During the weekend a photo made the rounds of social networks and made the buzz. We see people gathered at the Caudan Waterfront, in Port-Louis, during an open-air concert. It took place as part of the music festival celebrated on June 21. The catch: health restrictions are still in effect and gatherings of more than fifty people are not allowed.
Wearing a mask and social distancing are required, while gatherings of more than fifty people are not authorized. Except that there is a photo circulating on which there would be a hundred people attending an outdoor concert at the Caudan Waterfront. On the Caudan Waterfront side, on Sunday, his employees did not comment and had to return to the editorial staff.
This sparked reactions from netizens. Some do not hide their anger over this non-compliance with health rules with the Covid-19 which is still there. While other people believe that it is high time that these sanitary measures be removed.
Inspector Shiva Coothen, head of the police communication unit, explains that you must first check what the photo shows. “We need to know if the concert really took place and if it is not an old photo or a faked photo. The police will definitely investigate,” he said.
He recalls that health restrictions are still in effect and that gatherings of more than fifty individuals are not permitted. “It is only on June 30 that the competent authorities will take a decision on the health measures. As long as the rules are in force, they must be followed to the letter in order to limit the spread of the virus, ”explains the police inspector. He adds that the police will ensure that there is no derogation and that sanctions will be taken against the offenders. Some nightclubs also operate when they are not licensed to do so.
