Morocco will ban people arriving from China, regardless of nationality, from January 3 to prevent new coronavirus infections, the foreign minister said on Saturday.
Several countries have imposed restrictions on people traveling from China due to the rise in cases of COVID-19.
Thousands of tourists visit Morocco from China every year, usually traveling on flights arriving via the Gulf.
In an abrupt policy shift, China this month began dismantling the world’s strictest COVID-19 lockdown regime and extensive testing, putting its battered economy on course to reopen next year.
But the ban has led to the largely unchecked spread of COVID and potentially infecting millions of people every day, according to some international health experts.
