Russia’s latest bout of Covid-19 cases and deaths has led Moroccan authorities to suspend flights with Moscow.

The decision was announced via the Russian embassy’s Facebook page, noting that it will come into effect starting Tuesday, without providing further details.

According to Hespress sources, the state of the pandemic in Russia was behind Morocco’s decision to suspend flights, as part of preventive measures.

Accordingly, Morocco’s two direct lines with Russia through Casablanca to Moscow will be affected.

Russia has reported on Tuesday a new record daily number of fatalities with 895 new Covid-19 related deaths, in addition to 25,110 new infections.

In total, since the beginning of the pandemic, the country has recorded 7,637,427 confirmed Covid-19 cases, 211,696 deaths, and 6,759,059 cases of recovery.
