SAINT-PAUL, Reunion—A tropical cyclone caused heavy flooding and at least one death in Mauritius on Monday as cars were washed away by surges of water in the Indian Ocean island’s capital city and elsewhere. A motorcyclist died in an accident caused by the flooding, the government said and imposed a curfew.
The government issued an order that everyone except emergency and health workers, members of the security services and those requiring medical treatment must return home and remain there.
