Morocco has reported 11 358 new Covid-19 cases in the past 24 hours, continuing in the rising trend of daily new cases.
76 new fatalities were also reported, bringing the number of deaths to 10 163 since the beginning of the outbreak in March 2020.
Fears over a Delta-driven wave of infections are pushing the country to adopt stricter travel restrictions as well as extending the night curfew by two hours.
The North African country is counting on its national vaccination campaign to curb the rise in infections. According to the ministry of health, 14 981 732 received one shot of the vaccine, while 10 870 130 were fully vaccinated.
The country recently signed a deal with Pfizer to acquire 1.8 million doses of its Covid-19 vaccine to reinforce the national stock and enable the extension of the inoculation campaign to people over the age of 18.
