A home care therapeutic protocol has been approved by the scientific advisory committee for patients who have tested positive for the coronavirus. These are patients with mild symptoms, infection symptoms or who are in a stable condition.
The epidemiological situation is getting worse with many recorded deaths, especially after Eid Al-Adha. This increase in the number of deaths has caused fear among the population.
8,071 coronavirus patients are currently receiving treatment in Moroccan hospitals. Among them, 108 are in serious condition, including 19 intubated.
A few hours after the decision of the Moroccan Minister of Health, Khalid Aït Taleb, to cancel the vacations of the medical corps, the anger is already palpable. Thus, demonstrations have been launched in hospitals and health centers in the kingdom.
Khalid Ait Taleb , the Minister of Health, states that the mineral water from "Sidi Harazem", whose production had been suspended, is contaminated. This is revealed by laboratory tests carried out on samples.
A fake joint press release from the Ministries of the Interior and Health, written in Arabic, and announcing new restrictive measures or a new lockdown starting Monday, August 3, has been circulating on social media. This is not the case, reassures the Ministry of the Interior.
Faced with the surge in cases of contamination, voices are rising to call for the adoption of urgent measures to avoid an uncontrollable epidemiological situation. This is the case of Dr. Tayeb Hamdi, a researcher in health policies and systems.
Morocco is dangerously approaching the 30,000 mark for contamination cases. In recent days, dozens of serious and critical cases have been recorded.
Morocco could adopt in the coming days even more restrictive measures than those taken at the very beginning of the pandemic. There is an exponential increase in the number of people infected with the coronavirus, as well as an increase in critical cases and the number of deaths.
The health personnel have not finished making sacrifices in the fight against Covid-19. The Ministry of Health plans to cancel the leave of doctors and nurses to cope with the worrying rise in cases of contamination.
Coronavirus screening tests will no longer be generalized to all people suspected of having been in contact with the virus. The decision has just been made by the Ministry of Health , which plans to limit its use to vulnerable people.
Morocco recorded 1,063 new coronavirus infections. Four regions have been severely affected by these new infections.
