Closing Its Borders
In March, Morocco imposed one of the world’s strictest lockdowns that made headlines as international tourists inside the country were trapped inside, and tens of thousands of Moroccans overseas were trapped overseas.
The National in Dubai is reporting that Emirates Airlines will restart flights to Morocco on Sept. 18.
Morocco has recorded more than 90,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and more than 1,600 deaths.
