The national scientific committee on vaccination called on the Health Ministry to require either a negative PCR test or a vaccination pass, especially for international travelers.
Hespress sources from within the scientific committee explained that this decision can be made, following the stability witnessed in the global epidemiological situation as well as the noticeable drop in cases nationwide.
COVID-19 infections in Morocco represent less than 1% of the virus’ peak and are continuing to drop, according to Reuters’ latest COVID Tracker released on Monday.
The scientific committee previously recommended easing COVID-19 restrictions, following in the footsteps of many European countries, such as the UK, France, and Italy, in a move to coexist with the virus.
Additionally, the committee sent some recommendations to the government in order to implement new easing measures, immediately after the Holy month of Ramadan.
As for international travel, the scientific committee suggested either requiring a vaccination pass or a negative PCR test only for travelers coming from countries classified on the green list in order to boost tourism during the summer season.
Government Spokesperson, Mustapha Baitas announced during the last government council’s weekly meeting that travelers coming through maritime traffic can provide either a PCR test or a vaccination pass to access the country.
Morocco reopened air borders on February 7 and resumed in recent days maritime traffic for countries, such as Spain and France.
