The Moroccan government extended starting Tuesday its nightly curfew two hours ahead to span between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m to control a speedy spread of COVID-19 infections.

Measures include a travel ban to key cities Casablanca, Marrakech and Agadir, allowing only vaccinated people, urgent medical cases, and essential businesses to enter the cities.

Restaurants and cafes are likewise ordered to shut their doors at 9 p.m., said a government statement added.

Gatherings and activities in closed and open spaces should not exceed 25 people, while hotels and tourist establishments must not exceed 75% of their reception capacity.

The government encouraged remote working in the public and private sectors, as the Delta-driven COVID-19 cases soar in the country.
