On Monday, Moroccans living in the UK and others stranded there for months observed a sit-in before the Moroccan consulate to protest against the high prices of Covid-19 tests required to enter Morocco and the flight tickets.
Is the «freshness» requirement of the PCR test by Morocco justified ? Is it doable for the many people who have already booked their plane tickets ? Or is this actually a way to filter people and retain only the wealthy ?
Moroccan nationals, residents and students planning to travel to Morocco have been struggling to afford Covid-19 testing in the UK. Forced to undergo a PCR and antibody tests before boarding, these travelers may be forced to pay up to £ 300 each before entering Morocco.
The announcement of the exceptional travel operation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Morocco has raised countless questions. This morning we obtained additional clarification on the program, prices and booking which will start by the end of the day.
