The director of epidemiology at the Ministry of Health, Mohamed El Youbi, assured on Saturday that the 15 cases tested positive in Morocco are in good health.

All ministers, except the Minister of Transport, who was absent from the national territory, underwent the coronavirus screening test. Upon his return from the mission, Abdelkader Amara tested positive.

The Moroccan Ministry of Health states that it has checked more than 35,000 people since the detection of the first case of Coronavirus at the country’s border posts. In this batch, 78 possible cases were detected, including 1 death, 8 confirmed positive cases and 73 declared negative cases.

A press release from the Ministry of Health reports a new Coronavirus infection in Morocco, bringing the number of people who tested positive to 6.

In addition to the measures already taken by the government to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the Parliament has recommended the suspension of all sports activities in the kingdom.

Two new coronavirus cases recorded in Marrakech have just been confirmed by the Moroccan Ministry of Health. They are two French tourists.

The Ministry of Health has reassured the population that the 300 people who have been in contact with the two confirmed cases of coronavirus in Morocco are "daily" monitored, and that no one among them has so far been declared positive.

The Ministry of Health just announced, this Tuesday, March 10, the death of the second detected and confirmed case of coronavirus in Morocco.

The Ministry of Health has just announced a third case of Coronavirus infection in Morocco. It is a 52-year-old French tourist, who arrived in Marrakech on Saturday, March 8.

In the absence of epidemiological data and hindsight on the Coronavirus epidemic, all countries have tried, as best they can, to put in place a health prevention system. Morocco is one of them.

The coronavirus epidemic bodes nothing good. The risk looming over Morocco is great. A worst-case scenario could threaten the kingdom, which could record up to 10,000 cases.

Faced with fraud and speculation, protective masks are now subject to an export license in Morocco.
