A Government source has announced ahead of the weekly press conference, scheduled for this Thursday, that the government’s official spokesperson, Mustapha Baitas will be unable to attend the conference in person after testing positive for COVID-19.

The government official has been under quarantine since yesterday in order to follow the COVID-19 treatment protocol, the same source added.

“Baitas’ health situation remains stable, with very weak symptoms that do not cause concern,” said the same source, given the Minister is fully vaccinated and has also received the third booster shot on December 15.

The government official will continue to follow up on his activities remotely, taking part in the Government Council using information and communications technologies (ICT) to enable him to attend virtually.

During last week’s government council, Mustapha Baitas stated that the reopening of Morocco’s borders will depend on the improvement and development of the epidemiological situation in the country.
