Morocco reported 5 043 new Covid-19 cases in the past 24 hours, bringing the total of cases to 701 325 since the outbreak began.

Covid-19 related deaths continue to be on the rise as the country recorded 69 new fatalities on Monday.

Morocco recorded last week its highest daily Covid-19 numbers, as the country battles its worst outbreak yet.

Fears over a Delta-driven wave of infections is leading the country to accelerate its vaccination drive, extending the campaign to 18-year-olds and over.

Morocco is also expecting a shipment of 1.8 million Pfizer vaccine doses this week to reinforce the national vaccine stock.

According to the Ministry of Health, 15 342 370 people received the first shot of the Covid-19 vaccine, while 11 069 848 were fully vaccinated.
