COVID-19 - Morocco Master Thread
Post useful Morocco Coronavirus info here which can be of use to other travellers.
Not all who use this forum choose to post, but all are seeking info.

Please take chit-chat or speculation to other threads or websites.





Morocco have introduced a requirement for a Coronavirus declaration to be completed for entry into the Kingdom.

Below is a link to the form for entry via sea, there is a different form if you arrive by air

No problem

BTW I'm not sure what the situation is arriving into Morocco from Mauritania is, I guess there will be a similar form.

A) I wonder what would happen if you said "YES" to any of those questions, and how would the Moroccans would handle it. I feel for any Chinese now landing who haven't been affected.



and B) would anyone admit it, and says YES to any of the bottom 3 questions?


Some years ago I entered the US of A, and some TSA clown asked if I "intended to perform an act of terrorism", really . As if anyone would say yes!?

Wow, I just barely got my butt out of Palermo (to Tunis) on time - I left on last Saturday's sailing.

I expect that the Italy to Tunisia ferry service will get cancelled in the not too distant future, the only question will be whether the Tunisians pull the plug on it out of fear of importing infection, or whether the ferry company will pull the plug because of a lack of passengers.

There were only about 60 people on the ship Saturday - it has capacity for 1,200.

Let's keep the information posted here on the HUBB limited to FACTUAL information that can be backed up with either official government or trustworthy news sources, or first-hand experience.

Airline and passenger ferry links to and from Spain and Italy have been suspended, though freight traffic to and from Spain will continue at present.

The land borders with the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla have been closed.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB.
