Health Minister, Khalid Ait Taleb, called, Wednesday, for replicating the experience of the Fez-Meknes region in terms of controlling the epidemiological situation in all the regions of the Kingdom.

”It is a successful experience that yielded very good results through the use of rapid screening with serological tests which show the level of virus circulation in the neighborhoods and especially among a vulnerable population,” the minister told the press, on the sidelines of a visit to urban health centers in Fez which carry out Covid-19 serological tests.

This approach allows to provide care as quickly as possible to positive cases in order to curb the spread of the virus, he said, while highlighting the efforts made by local authorities, health professionals and the civil society.

According to Mr Ait Taleb, “anticipation, following the medical protocol and using a proximity approach” are some of the factors that allowed to control the epidemiological situation in the Fez-Meknes region.
