After recording 227 new confirmed COVID-19 cases in 24 hours, a sense of panic has gripped Moroccans. However, according to a specialist doctor, the new incidence level is rather a good indicator.

259 new coronavirus cases have been recorded in Morocco. This brings the number of recorded cases to 2,528 infected people, more than a month after the first COVID-19 case was recorded.

The toll of the coronavirus epidemic in Morocco has risen to 2,283 infected people, with 259 new positive cases tested on Thursday, April 16, according to the Ministry of Health.

Even though the Minister of Health stated before the House of Councillors that "the epidemiological situation in Morocco is under control for the moment", the lockdown is not lifted.

The director of the provincial hospital of Taounate has been dismissed from his duties by the Minister of Health, Khalid Ait Taleb.

The latest report published by the Ministry of Health shows 2,251 affected people, including 227 new cases.

In response to a question asked about the evolution of the coronavirus pandemic, in the House of Councillors, Minister Ait Taleb indicated that the measures taken, on the high royal instructions, have allowed Morocco to avoid 6,000 deaths.

In Morocco, the virus reproduction rate (R0) is progressively decreasing, and is approaching 1. This indicates a control of the epidemiological situation.

Morocco now has 2,024 confirmed positive cases after the census on Wednesday of 136 new people tested positive for the coronavirus.

The coronavirus epidemic continues to spread in the kingdom. 100 new cases were recorded this Wednesday, April 15, 2020 at 10 a.m., bringing the total to 1,988 confirmed cases.
