ABIDJAN (Reuters) - After Ivory Coast's government announced the easing of some restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the new coronavirus on Thursday evening, Ange-Désire Indat hit the phones and invited more guests to his wedding planned for the next day.

"This is a joy for us because the easing of the restrictive measures changed everything. Our parents are here. We had to call everyone yesterday," said the groom, a 30-year old finance officer, beaming in a midnight blue tuxedo.
