The scientific committee on COVID-19 recommended easing of COVID-19 restrictions, following the significant decline in cases nationwide, said an informed source on Friday.

The scientific committee sent some recommendations to the government in order to implement new easing measures, immediately after the Holy month of Ramadan.

A source from within the Scientific Committee for vaccination told Hespress in a statement that “the available health data indicates that there is a noticeable drop in positive infections as well as the spread of the virus,” he said, stressing the need to implement some easing measures.

The committee has also called on authorities to revoke vaccination passes on air travel, in light of a worldwide drop in covid-19 cases.

The scientific committee said PCR tests of 72 hours are sufficient for travelers who do not have vaccination passes, sources from within the committee told Hespress.

Morocco still maintains the wearing of masks in outdoor places, the vaccination passes, and is continuing its efforts in administrating the anti-COVID vaccine shots to its citizens, in a move to curb the spread of the pandemic and return to normal.

Well-informed sources previously revealed to Hespress AR that the government would announce a new strategy to ease all restrictions imposed to limit the spread of the new Coronavirus in the coming weeks.

This new strategy will likely include narrowing the mandatory vaccination cycle to include only certain age groups with chronic diseases.

Globally, several European countries dropped most COVID restrictions, as part of their plan to coexist with the virus, including the UK, Austria, France, Sweden, Italy, and Germany.

The UK was the first country to ease restrictions since January 19, seeking to consider the virus as seasonal flu.
