Morocco has said it will reopen its airspace to international passenger flights next month.

The North African country banned all incoming and outgoing international flights last November to try and limit the spread of the Omicron variant of coronavirus.

Moroccan Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch said that the ban would be lifted on 7 February.

Mr Akhannouch urged passengers to comply with Covid-19 guidelines and called on Moroccans to take their vaccine jabs.

Morocco has had just more than 15,000 Covid fatalities so far.
