This update comes as a result of the spike in COVID-19 cases in these three countries.

The decision also coincides with the emergence of a new strain of the COVID-19 Delta variant in the UK, leading experts to warn that it might be even more contagious than the original Delta variant.

Regarding the temporary suspension of direct flights in list B countries, the national scientific committee ensured that the suspension of direct flights with those three countries will be updated every two weeks depending on the epidemiological situation.

Travelers arriving from these three countries will still be able to access the country while transiting in a third country.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs added, on a Facebook post, travelers must be fully vaccinated, and have to provide a negative PCR test taken within 48 hours before their scheduled departure.

Morocco has already announced the suspension of flights with these three countries, starting Wednesday, October 20.
