Rabat – Minors accompanying their vaccinated parents traveling to Morocco will be exempt from hotel quarantine measures upon their arrival, regardless of the child’s vaccination status.
The Moroccan consulate in Rennes, northwest France, clarified on Monday, July 12, that any minors traveling with their parents who have the appropriate vaccination certificates and a negative PCR test “are not concerned by the 10 days quarantine even if they are not vaccinated.”
The consulate also reminded that any person 11 years old and over must present a negative PCR test that has been taken less than 48 hours before, “calculated from the time of sampling to the time of boarding.”
In circumstances where travelers, whether Moroccan or foreign, do not have to quarantine for 10 days in one of the state-approved hotels, neither will the children. Otherwise, both parents and children will have to undergo a 10-day long quarantine.

At the moment Moroccan authorities maintain two lists, List A and List B. Any travelers coming from a List A country only need to present either a vaccination certificate or a negative PCR test from the last 48 hours. Those coming from List B countries will have to provide a negative PCR test within 48 hours of arrival regardless of their vaccination status.
Travelers coming from List B countries will also have to quarantine in one of the government-approved hotels for a 10-day duration. Reportedly, fully vaccinated people will be exempted from the quarantine measures.
With the global surge of the Delta variant of COVID-19, Morocco has opted to move France, Portugal, and Spain to its List B, suggesting stricter health and safety measures for any travelers coming from European destinations.
As of July 12, Moroccan authorities have administered 10,552,219 doses of the first vaccine, and additional 9,310,662 doses of the second jab. There were 657 new cases of COVID-19 in Morocco and 15 deaths.
