Up to 400 people are admitted to intensive care units on a daily basis across Morocco, putting the country’s health system under pressure amid a surge of cases this summer.
Health experts urge strict respect for precautionary measures and the speed up of Morocco’s vaccine push to alleviate pressure on Moroccan hospitals.
“Moroccan hospitals are currently treating 2579 people infected with Covid-19 in critical condition, including 1438 people under artificial respiration” Doctor Tayeb Hamdi told Hespress Eng.
The intensive care occupancy rate worsened to 52.5%, Hamdi said, noting that intensive care beds are now unavailable in Fez, Casablanca and Marrakesh.
Every patient admitted to intensive care occupies a bed for up to three weeks, he said.
Morocco should enforce the vaccine pass which should be required for access to public places such as libraries and cinemas in order to curb the propagation of the virus.
