Morocco Considers Suspending Flights to France Amid Rising Coronavirus Cases

Morocco could make this decision for two fundamental reasons. The first is related to the 4 French people from their country, among the 7 cases of contamination by the new coronavirus, confirmed in the kingdom. The second is that the kingdom is experiencing a rapid increase in cases. In less than two weeks, seven cases have been recorded in the country, including one death (an octogenarian tested positive at the Pasteur-Maroc Institute in Casablanca).

On Wednesday, Morocco recorded the 6th case of coronavirus infection. It was a 64-year-old Franco-Senegalese woman, who arrived in Fez on March 5 from France. According to the director of the epidemiology department, nearly 300 people are currently under medical supervision by the health authorities of the kingdom.
