Rabat – The Ministry of Health urged all citizens to get vaccinated to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
On Wednesday, Minister of Health Khalid Ait Taleb highlighted the significant increase in COVID-19 cases, leading to an increase in serious and critical patients hospitalized and admitted to intensive care units.
The minister said that the patients admitted under the intensive care units are part of the category of people over 50-years-old who reportedly had already benefited from vaccinations.
“Unfortunately, these people have not been vaccinated for multiple reasons, including the choice of the type of vaccine,” the minister said.
Other citizens have not received vaccine shots “because they were reluctant to the operation and waited to see the results of the mass vaccination campaign,” the minister argued.
The official emphasized the importance of receiving vaccine doses in order to be eligible for a passport that would ensure more mobility and freedom.
“Those who have not yet benefited from the vaccination must go quickly to be vaccinated in the centers closest to their place of residence,” Ait Taleb said.
Morocco witnessed an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases. Yesterday, Morocco recorded over 3,900 cases.
The Ministry of Health has repeatedly urged citizens to continue to respect preventive measures to curb the virus and its many deadlier variants, which have visibly fueled a third wave of infections.
The surge in COVID-19 cases, according to the ministry, is due to the “total relaxation,” and the absence of respect for preventive measures and the simplest barrier gestures which cost nothing.”
Although the country has lifted most of the health restrictions and re-opened its borders for international travel, the government continues to warn that the situation could lead to more restrictions.
Starting tomorrow, the government will ban weddings and ensure night curfew that starts from 11 pm.
