Local authorities are tightening preventative measures, in light of rising COVID-19 daily infections, following the spread of the new Omicron variant.

For the first time in several months, security personnel from the police and the auxiliary forces returned to the doors of supermarkets to monitor the control of vaccine passes and mandatory masks.

As Hespress witnessed, security forces tightened the control process in front of supermarkets, as it was no longer allowed to enter them without wearing a mask.

In the capital Rabat’s biggest shopping center, most stores have a maximum indoor occupancy rate at the entrance, with customers lining up outside stores to not exceed the people limit.

On this new years’ eve, authorized personnel has been dispatched across the capital, as they prepare for a long night of control and monitoring, as the government had set a curfew, set at 11:30 pm.
