Tuesday 23 November 2021 - 15:20

The US State Department classified Morocco in its latest travel update, among countries with low COVID-19 risk, saying travel to Morocco requires only “usual precautions.”

Currently, COVID-19 cases are decreasing in Morocco, with 100 new infections reported on average each day, representing 1% of the peak, according to the latest update of Reuters’ COVID-19 tracker on November 23.

Alongside Morocco, the UAE, Djibouti, Senegal, and Rwanda are also part of the low-risk list at level 1, ahead of the second-level list, including New Zealand, Peru, South Korea, India, Zimbabwe, and Nepal.

As for the classification of countries with the highest risk level, comes the European continent, which is experiencing the surge of the new strain of the Delta variant, namely Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Germany, and Croatia, as well as Cyprus, Egypt, Japan, Australia, and Chile.

The US State Department has warned against travel to Germany, amid the daily high record in COVID-19 cases and deaths, saying “Avoid travel to Germany, if you must travel to Germany, make sure you are fully vaccinated before travel.”

Most recently, German Health Minister, Jens Spahn summed up on Monday the current health situation in his country, saying Germans have to choose whether to get “vaccinated, recovered or dead” by the end of winter, according to AFP.
