Morocco Sees 6.4% Rise in COVID-19 Cases, Officials Urge Vigilance
After a few days of calm, Covid-19 infection cases have increased by 6.4% over the past two weeks in Morocco. The announcement was made on Tuesday in Rabat by the head of the communicable diseases division at the Directorate of Epidemiology and Disease Control, Abdelkrim Meziane Belfquih.
During the presentation of the biweekly assessment of the epidemiological situation in the Kingdom, the official explained that the situation requires more vigilance and compliance with preventive measures to maintain the gains. The ongoing vaccination campaign must not lead to a relaxation of preventive measures.
As for the active cases, they went from 4237 to 3364 in two weeks, a rate of -20.1%. On the other hand, critical cases increased by 4.5% (401 against 419). The virus reproduction rate stabilized at 1.06.
