Fast Food Chains in Morocco See Surge in Demand, Raising COVID-19 Concerns

The long queues observed at certain intersections, caused by the reopening of fastfoods, represent a major risk for consumers, reports the daily Assabah. These fast food chains no longer respect the preventive rules recommended by the health authorities.

According to the same newspaper, endless queues are noticed in front of certain spaces, particularly at 2 Mars, Maârif, Aïn Sebaâ and Derb Sultan, in Casablanca, during peak hours. Worse, the presence of two-wheelers and vehicles blocking traffic adds to the suffering of the residents.

Still present, the security forces intervene to restore order and enforce barrier gestures.

In addition to the problems related to compliance with health and security measures on site, fastfoods are not complaining about this resumption. Faced with this strong influx, some managers are strengthening the team to meet the demand.
