France added Morocco and Algeria to its Covid-19 red list, according to a statement by the country’s health ministry on Thursday.

Starting Saturday, unvaccinated travelers from Morocco and Algeria will have to have a compelling reason to travel, provide a negative PCR test dating back to 48 hours, as well as self-isolate for 10 days upon arrival to France.

Vaccinated travelers are only required to prove their vaccine status.

Morocco has been facing a new outbreak of Covid-19 infections which prompted authorities to expand the night curfew and put in place travel restrictions.

France classifies countries in three categories depending on the severity of the pandemic in each country. Red listed countries are those where the circulation of the coronavirus is considered very active.
