The Government of Canada has suspended its flights from Morocco until October 29, according to the Government of Canada’s website.
This decision came after an increase in COVID-19 positive test results was noticed in travelers arriving in Canada from Morocco over the past months based on data and monitoring of the epidemiological situation both in Canada and internationally, according to Canada’s website.
From now on, passengers who want to travel to Canada from Morocco would choose an indirect route and are required to have a negative PCR test in a third country before landing in Canada, according to the same source.
Travelers who have already tested positive for COVID-19 and want to land in Canada will need to provide proof of a positive result on a molecular test for COVID-19, and this should have been carried out 14 to 180 days before their departure, requesting as well that this proof be obtained in a third country before the onward to Canada. Travelers will therefore need to plan to enter a third country and stay there for at least 14 days quarantine.
The government of Canada still recommends avoiding non-essential trips outside the country until further notice, recalling that if individuals must travel, they have to check the risk levels associated with COVID-19 at their destination and plan their trip accordingly.
Canada has already suspended all direct flights from Morocco starting August 29 to September 29, as a result of the rise of positive cases in the country as well as forged COVID-19 related documents.
Previously, Canada suspended all its flights from India and Pakistan starting April 22, after detecting a high increase in cases among those who took a trip through a flight departing from India or Pakistan.
