Morocco Denies Purchasing 100,000 COVID-19 Tests from South Korea

The official, in a statement to the MAP, described the information relayed by the national press as mere "speculation", specifying that these are rather rapid tests and not "laboratory equipment or other laboratory kits and tests".

The director took care to specify, during the press conference on Tuesday, March 31, that Morocco regularly procures medical devices for the detection of Sars-CoV2, but not at this pace.

The official also recalled that the laboratories of the university hospital centers are starting to carry out screening tests, in addition to the three centers authorized to perform the biological analyzes, in particular the Pasteur Institute of Casablanca, the Institute of Hygiene and the military hospital in Rabat.
