The Health Minister, Khalid Ait Taleb called on citizens to continue respecting preventive measures, as COVID-19 cases witness an increase.

COVID-19 infections are increasing in Morocco, with 157 new infections reported on average each day, representing 2% of the peak, according to Reuters’ latest COVID tracker released on Saturday.

The Minister urged people on national TV news to continue wearing masks to prevent infection, especially in indoor places, in addition to avoiding gatherings as much as possible.

Ait Taleb also called on citizens to receive their vaccine shots in order to boost protection, according to the same source.

As of Thursday, Morocco has extended the sanitary state of emergency until June 30, in a move to contain the spread of the virus as well as avoid the outbreak of Monkeypox.
