At least three ministers, including Government Spokesperson Mustapha Baitas, tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of this Thursday’s weekly government council, according to Hespress sources.
This week’s government council is set to be held remotely, under the chairmanship of the Head of government Aziz Akhannouch, as some ministers need to follow the COVID-19 treatment protocol as well as remain quarantined.
Additionally, Baitas has already missed a government weekly briefing on Thursday, January 13 because of the same reason.
Morocco reports the highest number of new infections since January, with cases on the rise, said Reuters in the latest COVID tracker released this Wednesday.
The average number of new infections reported on average each day is 2,806, representing 29% of the peak, according to the same source.
