Invoking the institutional principles and the values of support, synergy and national solidarity to which Moroccans have adhered to bear the costs and burdens resulting from the various disasters and crises, they have decided to contribute one month’s salary to the Special Fund for the Management of the Coronavirus Pandemic - Covid-19, set up on royal instructions.

In addition, the presidents of these institutions intend to support all citizen initiatives aimed at limiting the consequences of this epidemic.
