For a few days now, Morocco has been facing a slight increase in Covid-19 cases. Should we fear a new wave that would call into question an easing of access conditions to the country?

In Morocco, the extension by the Council of Government of the state of health emergency until the end of May in order to curb the spread of the coronavirus in the kingdom is seen in a bad light.
