Moroccan Military Refutes Claims of COVID-19 Outbreak Among Troops

The information that 130 soldiers would have been infected by the coronavirus is false and unfounded. A military source has refuted this information, which it describes as "pure and simple allegations".

Certain press websites are circulating "pernicious and slanderous" information about the number of military personnel affected by covid-19 and the development of outbreaks of contamination within the units of the Royal Armed Forces (FAR), indicates a source within the army, reassuring that the health situation related to covid-19, within the FAR is "under control" and that the contamination rate of military personnel and their families is "quite normal" compared to the national average.

According to the same source, "the measures taken within all FAR units to counter this pandemic are the most stringent and are the subject of rigorous medical and social monitoring at several levels".
