Traveling to Morocco in 2022 is now possible after the reopening of the borders on February 07, 2022. Following the emergence of the variant Omicron, Morocco has opted to close the borders. This decision is part of the kingdom’s strategy in the fight against the coronavirus. Thanks to the different efforts made in this perspective as well as the national vaccination campaign, Morocco aspires to welcome back visitors from all over the world. This decision is in accordance with the country’s vision in the management of the state of health emergency. It incorporates the recommendations of the scientific and technical commission and takes into consideration the evolution of the epidemiological situation in the Kingdom. To implement this decision, a technical commission has examined the measures to be recommended at the borders and the conditions required of travelers.

Local authorities have clarified that visitors with a complete vaccination schedule can enter the country. In addition, travelers will have to present a negative test 48 hours before boarding.

Passengers, traveling by air or sea, will also need to carry their health card. This document, distributed by the authorities or downloaded online, must be duly completed and signed. The document includes the passenger’s address and telephone number and will be used to locate the person in case of need.

As for the antigenic test, it should be noted that they are no longer performed systematically. The authorities reserve the right to perform random tests.

If the result of your antigenic test is positive, and you do not have any symptoms, a treatment is planned at home or in a hotel. The person infected with the Coronavirus will have to self-isolate and follow the national health protocol in effect.

In case of moderate symptoms, the authorities provide for treatment in a public or private hospital. Patients will receive treatment with azithromycin before resorting to molnupiravir.
