Morocco has been experiencing an increase in COVID-19 cases in the last few weeks. The government clarified that the increase in the cases is due to the mass screening tests to help patients recover at an early stage.
The country also reassured citizens that the increase is also natural, owing to the gradual lockdown lifting in most of the provinces.
Morocco eased lockdown measures in most of the country’s provinces on June 25, opening restaurants, cafes, and public spaces after three months of restrictions on movement.
The country, however, still maintains the wearing of face masks as a mandatory measure, calling on citizens to take the necessary preventive measures to avoid contracting the virus.
