Morocco to halt flights with UK, Germany and Netherlands

RABAT - Moroccan authorities will suspend direct flights with Britain, Germany and the Netherlands over COVID-19 concerns starting on Oct. 21, flag carrier RAM said on Wednesday.

Morocco recently announced that it would impose a mandatory vaccine pass for access to public places and inter-city travel after it inoculated most of its adult population.

So far, Morocco has administered two COVID-19 vaccine doses to 21 million people in a population of 36 million, and has launched a third dose programme.
