This is a strong measure that has just been decided by the Moroccan authorities. With a view to the return of MREs during the next summer holidays, they are required to have a negative covid-19 test. If this is not the case, they will not be able to board.
Before their return to Morocco, for those who wish to go there despite the coronavirus pandemic, Moroccans Residing Abroad (MREs) must absolutely respect certain rules. These will be reminded to all travelers when purchasing their tickets.
