About ten Moroccans residing abroad demonstrated on Monday in front of the El Hassani hospital in Nador, against the Epidemiological Monitoring Committee which was slow to communicate the results of their Covid-19 test.

Having undergone the screening test last Friday, the demonstrators say they are upset by the delay caused by the services concerned, especially, specifies the site Nadorcity, that the majority of MREs had a plane to catch the next day.

The MREs, whose flight is scheduled for Tuesday at 1 a.m., are angry with the local authorities, and hope for a quick resolution, at the risk of putting them in an uncomfortable situation.

A little later, the situation became more than uncontrollable with the announcement of a case of contamination among the people tested, specifies the same source. The intervention of the police services was necessary to restore calm in front of the hospital.
