In Morocco , in addition to being open from Monday to Sunday, vaccination centers can now welcome people without an appointment and without citizens being required to bring proof of their place of residence. The news was confirmed by the Ministry of Health in a press release issued on Monday.
With the surge in Covid-19 cases in Morocco, vaccination against Covid-19 has been extended to people aged 25 to 29. Awareness and awareness campaigns are multiplying and new restrictive measures have come into effect. Today, there is no question that this third wave of contamination will destroy the efforts made since 2019.
As announced, the kingdom has indeed received the 300,000 Janssen doses from the Johnson & Johnson company.
Since last Friday, new measures have come into effect in Morocco , following the emergence of many outbreaks of contamination. But Moroccans do not all make a better reading of the new restrictions. This is the case of the vaccine pass which, according to some, allows people who have received the two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine to move freely between cities and regions of the country, between 11 p.m. and 4:30 a.m.
Since Friday, July 23, new preventive measures have come into force in Morocco . These are restrictions related to night travel, travel between prefectures and provinces, as well as family celebrations which are now prohibited. The aim is to fight against the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
All the restrictive measures announced by the government to combat the spread of Covid-19 and its variants have been in effect since yesterday, Friday, July 23rd. Moroccans will have to comply with them under penalty of heavy fines or prosecution.
After receiving 2 million doses of the Sinopharm vaccine on Friday, Morocco is preparing to receive 300,000 doses of the Janssen vaccine from Johnson&Johnson this Saturday as part of the Covax program.
Morocco is doing everything it can to vaccinate as many people as possible, especially at a time when the country is facing a surge in Covid-19 cases.
Postponed by a year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Olympic Games were launched on July 23 in Tokyo. 48 Moroccan athletes will participate, the majority already on site.
The Minister of Health, Khalid Ait Taleb , has just called on Moroccans to get vaccinated again. This call comes after a worrying increase in the number of Covid-19 cases in recent weeks.
Certain people who have received the two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine and who have risk factors that can weaken their immunity (age, chronic diseases, etc.) could receive a third dose.
In two weeks, Morocco has recorded a very significant increase in the number of positive Covid-19 cases. The announcement was made this Tuesday by the Ministry of Health in its bi-weekly report on the epidemiological situation. According to the press conference, all regions of Morocco are affected by this increase caused, among other things, by the relaxation in compliance with preventive measures and barrier gestures.
