US Updates Entry Requirements: PCR Tests Mandatory for Moroccan Travelers

In a written message on its Twitter account, Royal Air Maroc warns that Moroccans over the age of twelve destined for the American territory, eligible for vaccination, must undergo a PCR test less than 72 hours (3 days) before boarding the plane.

Similarly, passengers aged over two years, who are not eligible for vaccination, whether due to their age or contraindications, must imperatively present a PCR test, the negative result of which is less than 24 hours old, the Centers for American Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said.

As for people who have been infected and then cured of Covid-19, they can present the positive result of a PCR test on a sample taken no more than 90 days before boarding, as well as a letter from an authorized health professional to provide diagnostic and treatment services, indicating that the traveler concerned has actually recovered.

The CDC reminds that a person is considered "fully vaccinated" two weeks after the second injection for vaccines requiring two injections (Pfizer, Sinopharm and AstraZeneca) and two weeks for vaccines requiring a single injection (Johnson & Johnson).
