THE NETHERLANDS IS REINTRODUCING AN ENTRY BAN FOR MOROCCO

12/08/2020

 

The Netherlands will reintroduce the entry ban for Morocco from 13 August 2020. This decision was taken on the basis of a risk assessment with criteria that are as objective as possible about the health situation in Morocco and the measures that apply there. In this context the number of new infections was examined. That number must be lower than the European average of 15 June last per 100,000 inhabitants over the past 14 days. It also looks at the overall response to COVID-19 in the country concerned. This includes the number of corona tests performed, source and contact tracing and control measures. Health organizations such as the ECDC, WHO and RIVM provide the necessary information for this.

The lifting of the travel restriction, effective July 1, will remain in effect for travelers who have permanent residence in the following countries: Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, New Zealand, Rwanda, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay. For travelers from China, the entry ban will be lifted as soon as China itself admits EU citizens.
