The situation of the spread of coronavirus is evolving very rapidly in Morocco. 27 new cases of covid-19 contamination have been recorded since last night. This brings the total to 735 coronavirus cases, announced the Ministry of Health. In total, 47 people have died and three new recoveries, for a total of 34 people cured.
Like several countries in the world, Morocco approved a few days ago the introduction of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of confirmed cases of covid-19. But when we know that the cases of contamination and death have multiplied in recent days, voices are being raised, asking to be informed of the effectiveness or not of the treatment whose merits are praised in many countries.
The director of the Department of Epidemiology and Disease Control at the Ministry of Health , Mohamed Lyoubi, categorically denied that Morocco had acquired 100,000 screening tests from a South Korean company.
