Bad news for tourists and French people returning from these countries.
France has placed Morocco and Algeria on the red list of the circulation of Covid-19, according to a decree of the Ministry of Health, published in the Official Journal on Thursday.
From Saturday, unvaccinated travelers from Morocco and Algeria will have to justify an overriding reason, present a negative test and self-isolate 10 days upon arrival in France.
Outbreak of the epidemic in Morocco and Algeria
The declaration of a compelling reason must be supported by a documentary evidence and the negative PCR or antigen test must be less than 48 hours old.
Vaccinated arrivals will have to prove their vaccination status.
Morocco is facing a new outbreak of the disease which has prompted the authorities to expand night curfew measures and restrict some movement, while Algeria is also facing a wave of contamination.
France classifies the countries of arrival into three categories according to the seriousness of the health situation, matching the arrivals with more or less restrictive measures.
The countries in the red list are those where the circulation of the epidemic is considered very active.
