The second phase, which ended on May 25, 2020, was marked by the health quarantine and a “collective resistance” of the Moroccan people to the pandemic under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI.
During this phase, concrete measures were taken including the establishment of the Fund dedicated to the management of the pandemic and to support those affected by the containment.
The third phase – May 25 to July 20, 2020- was marked by the gradual easing of quarantine measures, in three stages, and by the approval by the Parliament of the Amended Finance Bill for the financial year 2020.
The government also intensified consultations with economic and social partners and key stakeholders on the management of the pandemic and the post-pandemic period.
During the fourth phase – July 20 to December 31, 2020- there was a special focus on the preparation of the national vaccination campaign, and the implementation of economic recovery measures, especially for the most affected sectors by the crisis.
Despite the challenging stage that the world countries are going through, Morocco was able to avert the worse thanks to the commitment and the high sense of patriotism and sacrifice of citizens.
Morocco continues to stand out in this fight with a remarkable national vaccination campaign recognized and welcomed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the statement concludes.
