The Moroccan government announced that it will push the night curfew to 11 pm instead of 9 pm as of Friday, as the country begins to ease restrictions following the drop in Covid-19 cases.

Movement between regions and provinces will also be allowed, under the condition a vaccination passport or an administrative license is provided, according to a statement from the government.

As of Friday, shops, restaurants and cafes will be allowed to remain open until 11 pm, provided that they do not exceed 50 percent of their capacity, the same source added. Bathhouses and gym halls will also reopen with a 50 percent capacity.

Additionally, gatherings and activities in open and closed spaces with less than 50 people will be allowed, and in the case this number is exceeded, a license from local authorities must be obtained.

The decision to ease restrictions comes as Morocco’s third Covid-19 wave began subsiding, thanks to the measures taken by public authority and the progress made by the national vaccination campaign, the government’s statement noted.
