COVID-19: 'Collective and Serious' Action Underway to Prepare for Next Stage - Minister
Monday 8 June 2020 - 13:04

The preparation of the next stage of the management of the pandemic of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) is carried out “in a collective, serious and responsible way”, in application of the high Royal instructions, said Sunday Minister of Health, Khalid Ait Taleb.

“A joint action is undertaken by all the components of the government at all levels, particularly regarding economic issues,” the minister said at a webinar dedicated to health professionals and the press.

In this regard, the ministries of Health and the Interior, in partnership with the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM), are working to implement the high Royal instructions related to a massive screening of employees working in the private sector companies, in order to detect any case of infection and prevent any hotspot in professional and family environments.

“We have succeeded together and with pride in overcoming the most difficult of this crisis,” he said, adding that hospitals have succeeded in providing health care to COVID-19 patients, most of whom have fully recovered.

The minister urged people suffering from chronic illnesses or any other pathology “to go to public and private establishments to receive the necessary health care, without being afraid of infection with Covid-19, a fear that is totally unjustified today.”

“We assure citizens wishing to monitor their health condition that public and private facilities are ready to receive them and that they have put in place the appropriate precautionary measures,” he said, recalling that the state of health emergency had made it difficult to move into these establishments.

The meeting was held on the initiative of the Moroccan Society of Medical Sciences and the National Health Federation.
