Coronavirus infections continue to rise in Morocco as the country reported a new daily record for the second day in a row with 12 039 cases in the past 24 hours.

The number of deaths also continues to rise, reaching 72 in the past 24 hours.

Morocco has been dealing with the worst wave of Covid-19 infections and recording record-breaking daily cases.

The North African country recently rolled out more restrictions in a bid to curve infections, in addition to expanding the national vaccination campaign to 25-year-olds and over.

The vaccination push is also set to include 17-year-olds and over in the upcoming days, according to Moulay Said Afif, member of the scientific committee on vaccination.

The ministry of health announced that 14 809 114 of the Moroccan population received at least one shot of the Covid-19 vaccine, while 10 733 482 were fully vaccinated.
