The Ministry of Health said Morocco has not yet recorded cases of the Eris Covid-19 sub-mutant, but said there remains a potential for its spread and a subsequent new wave in the Kingdom.
Such an occurrence could lead to severe cases, including fatalities, particularly among the elderly, immunocompromised individuals, and those with chronic ailments.
The ministry affirmed ongoing surveillance of the country’s epidemiological situation, emphasizing the importance of completing Covid-19 vaccination doses to bolster immunity.
To thoroughly assess the national risk and provide essential recommendations, the Ministry consulted the Scientific Committee for COVID-19. This initiative is aligned with the constant vigilance and preparedness maintained by the National Center for Public Health Emergency Operations.
In light of these findings, the Ministry of Health and the National Scientific Committee, is reiterating the urgent necessity for individuals to receive both vaccine doses, thereby fortifying their defenses against severe Covid-19 manifestations.
The statement also highlighted that several countries worldwide have recently encountered the aforementioned strain.
Although its level of virulence remains unconfirmed by the World Health Organization, it’s noteworthy that despite the termination of the global health emergency for Covid-19 last May, the virus still poses a public health threat due to the potential propagation of new mutants and sub-strain.
