Morocco joined today the list of countries to curb outdoor activities on New Year’s Eve in a bid to limit Covid-19 infections, announced the government in a statement.

Restrictions include a ban on hotels, restaurants, and all tourist establishments from organizing celebrations.

Restaurants and cafes are ordered to close at 11:30 pm on Dec. 31. A curfew will be in place from midnight to 6 am.

The move aims “to preserve the health of citizens and keep up with the important positive results achieved by the Kingdom in facing this pandemic,” said the statement.
