Tiznit: Fine for Individual who Refused to Wear Face Mask
Friday 7 August 2020 - 21:48

The Tiznit Court of First Instance has imposed a fine of 750 dirhams on an individual who refused to wear his protective mask.

This judgment was rendered due to the person’s non-compliance with the preventive measures provided for in the framework of the law on the state of health emergency and the procedures for its declaration, a judicial source said.

The Government Council, convened on Thursday under the chairmanship of Head of Government Saad Dine El Otmani, adopted the draft decree-law n° 2.20.503 completing the decree-law n° 2.20.292 dated 28 Rajab 1441 (March 23, 2020) relating to the state of health emergency and the procedures for its declaration.

This text seeks a more effective implementation of the repressive provisions enacted by Decree-Law No. 2.20.292 by including specific provisions related to the non-respect of social distancing between people and the wearing of a mask as preventive measures intended to stem the spread of the epidemic.
