On Reunion Island, the curfew has returned since January 1 and will be in effect until January 23. A measure decided by the prefect to help hospitals cope with the influx of sick people.
The streets are deserted in Saint-Denis de la Réunion (Réunion). The curfew came into effect on the evening of Saturday January 1, and it is now necessary to have a compelling reason to travel between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. on the island. Tiffany Virton, a tourist of Reunion origin, finds the restrictions unfair: “Us in the metropolis, we continue to live as if everything is going well.”
Restaurant owners can no longer welcome customers after 9 p.m., they must limit the restaurant’s capacity to 75% and customers cannot be more than six per table. “If we have no support for this partial activity, we will have to lay off. Because in any case, we will not be able to hold out. we are accompanied for that “, testifies Philippe Doki-Thonon, restaurateur and president of the Union of trades and hospitality industries in Reunion.
