Morocco prepares to move towards imposing Covid-19 passes in public spaces within the upcoming days, amid a decline in Covid-19 vaccination across the country.

The decision comes following a meeting chaired by the Minister of Health and Social Protection, Khaled Ait Taleb on the decline in vaccination, sources told Hespress.

The source said the implementation of the vaccine pass “may be delayed for logistical reasons only,” but is only a matter of time, as the country bets on reaching collective immunity and avoiding another spike in cases.

Adnan Ghazali, head of the Syndicate of Biologists said the number of COVID-19 tests performed in recent weeks has declined, alongside a decline in positive tests conducted in Morocco.

The ministry of health released a circular on Saturday, urging regional health officials to implement a strategy to accelerate the vaccination process of the citizens who have yet to receive their jabs, in addition to widening the availability of the third booster shot.
