Morocco Sees Surge in COVID-19 Cases as Family Transmission Drives Spread

According to his explanations, the transmission of the virus in epidemic foci within families is attributable to the fact that people continue to leave their homes, but also to people who were in incubation at the time the confinement came into effect.

Out of more than 7,000 people who have been tested in the laboratory, 192 cases have been confirmed, says Mohamed El Youbi. He assures that more laboratory tests will be carried out in the coming days, which will provide more visibility and clarification on the evolution of the epidemic.

In Morocco, the official report (as of April 6 at 1 p.m.) shows 1,113 cases, 71 deaths and 76 recoveries.
