Rabat – King Mohammed VI received a phone call on Saturday from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), who inquired about the monarch’s health after he tested positive for COVID-19.
According to Saudi news agency SPA, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia was reassured about the health of the King of Morocco, and he wished the Moroccan monarch well.
For his part, King Mohammed VI expressed his thanks to the Crown Prince for his “good brotherly feelings,” SPA reported.
In addition to MBS, King of Jordan Abdullah II also called King Mohammed VI to inquire about his health.
The King’s doctor announced that the monarch tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week, but reassured citizens that the King of Morocco exhibited no symptoms.
Morocco has seen a marked upsurge in COVID-19 cases in the past two weeks.
