The government decided to extend the state of health emergency for an additional month, from November 30 to the end of December 31, said Mustapha Baitas Minister in charge of Relations with Parliament and the government’s official spokesman.
Following the government council today, Akhanouch’s cabinet took the extension’s decision to ensure avoiding a new outbreak of Covid-19.
Morocco lifted on Nov 10 the nationwide curfew that has been in place for months to curb the spread of the global virus.
Easing measures also included allowing movement between cities and permitting funerals, ceremonies and weddings, respect of the health measures in place, while the health pass is still mandatory in public and private places.
This comes as Morocco’ daily caseload of Covid-19 infections continues to decrease, and only about five million adults are yet to be vaccinated.
Morocco recorded 130 new Covid-19 cases on Wednesday, raising the total of cases since the beginning of the outbreak to 949,263.
Morocco continues to bid on its national vaccination campaign, in an effort to contain the global virus.
According to the ministry’s latest tally, 24,400,741 people received their first Covid-19 vaccine shot, while 22,594,819 were fully inoculated.
Morocco has also administered a total of 1,625,923 booster shots, as of Wednesday.
