The local authorities of Casablanca-Settat have decided, on Monday, to review their development program. The financial and legal impacts of the health crisis in this region, the most contaminated in Morocco, are at the origin of this decision.
The Casablanca-Settat region recorded 802 new infections on Saturday, August 15, bringing the number of active cases nationwide to 11,526.
The residents of the Anfa district in Casablanca must face a series of restrictive measures due to the increase in cases of Covid-19 contamination.

In the Casablanca-Settat region, 1,300 cafes and restaurants are in turmoil and have still not opened their doors after the lockdown. Professionals in the sector explain this situation by a lack of means, given the fact that these cafes have been closed for four months.
The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca has taken new restrictive measures for the performance of the five daily prayers. This decision follows the resurgence of new infections recorded in recent weeks in the economic capital.
The Prefecture of Hay Mohammadi is now under surveillance. This decision was made due to the exponential increase in new infections observed in this locality of Casablanca .
An accident occurred on Tuesday, August 12 in the Hay Mohammadi district, at a service station. The incident, which occurred under strange conditions, fortunately did not cause any casualties.
Unrecognizable, until recently, the Arab League, Place Mohammed V and Rachidi, the promenade of the Hassan II Mosque, the corniche have recently regained their prestige as spaces of beauty and life. With millions of dirhams, the urban commune of Casablanca is bringing its public squares up to date. The time of wild spaces in the middle of the city is over.
The economic situation of the 13,000 cafes and restaurants that remained closed and those that have resumed activity with a reduced capacity of 50% in the Casa-Settat region is not very rosy. The General Directorate of Local Authorities (DGCL) has thus taken some measures that can relieve them somewhat.
The increase in new coronavirus infections recorded in recent weeks in Casablanca is particularly affecting three prefectures. As a result, Sidi Bernoussi, Anfa and Ain Sebaa Hay Mohammadi are under the surveillance of the health authorities and could be subject to strict restrictions if they experience a new increase in infections.
