The COVID-19 pandemic in Seychelles was a part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The COVID-19 pandemic was confirmed to have reached Seychelles in March 2020.[4]

The country remained on 11 total cases from 18 May to 27 June 2020, with no active cases recorded in that period, but cases have been increasing rapidly since then. The country recorded its first COVID-19-related death on 3 January 2021.[5]

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, life expectancy at birth decreased from 77.3 years in 2020 to 73.5 years in 2022 as a consequence of the pandemic.[6]

As of 19 March 2023, a total of 224,020 vaccine doses have been administered.[7]

This measure will be maintained for 21 days.[54]

In March, the Seychelles International Airport was closed.[55] It opened again to scheduled traffic on 1 August 2020.[56] On 28 April 2020, former President Danny Faure announced a lifting of some of the measures that were earlier on put in place to forestall further spread of the pandemic.

For business to resume to normalcy, certain guidelines have been put in place by the Seychelles Department of Health which will ultimately protect the Museum employees as well as visitors that visit Museums from contracting the coronavirus.[61] Among the measures being instituted are tips for preparing for the arrival of the public, adapting the flow of visitors, strengthening health measures, restricting some access if necessary, as well as measures for reception and security staff, cleaning and conservation measures, and guidance for office staff.[61]
