PCR tests are no longer mandatory on arrival at Morocco's airports

Upon arrival at Morocco’s airports, PCR tests will now be conducted randomly, National Office for Airports (ONDA) announced, as part of the authorities easing measures since the end of the Omicron wave, announced this Tuesday.

As the Omicron wave slowed, Morocco decided to reopen its air borders, but implemented strict measures to track the COVID-19 virus and limit the variant’s spread.

Although all measures still apply, the national airport authority announced this Monday it will no longer run mandatory PCR tests after the passengers’ landing, which has been the case since early February.

The rapid antigen test will now be carried out randomly, says the ONDA. The other conditions announced at the reopening of the borders by the Moroccan authorities remain valid.

Travelers are required to have a valid vaccine pass, as well as a negative PCR test result dating less than 48 hours.

A passenger health form is also required, which includes the passenger’s address and two telephone numbers on which they can be reached, if necessary, during the ten days following their arrival on the national territory.

Upon arrival, rapid antigen tests and random PCR tests will be performed, and the results will dictate the protocol to follow in case of positive results.

No access conditions are applied for children under 6 years of age, but for children aged 6 years and under 18 years, the presentation of a negative PCR test dated less than 48 hours is mandatory, in addition to a rapid antigen test on arrival.
