The General Confederation of Enterprises of Morocco (CGEM) calls on companies to strictly respect the prevention measures enacted by the Moroccan authorities in order to curb the spread of coronavirus in the kingdom. This call follows the outbreaks of contamination detected in factories in Lalla Mimouna, Safi, Tangier and the closure of several factories.
Morocco recorded 326 new infections in the last 24 hours, mainly in the city of Tangier, which alone saw 181 cases.
Based on information provided by the services of the Directorate General of Territorial Surveillance (DGST), elements of the prefectural judicial police service of Marrakech, Rabat and Tangier proceeded to the arrest of four individuals including a French national of Moroccan origin, a woman and two repeat offenders. They are suspected of having links with a criminal network active in the possession and trafficking of cocaine.
In Tangier, the management of the health crisis related to the coronavirus is not very reassuring. And for good reason.
Sentenced in the first instance to 8 years in prison, Félix Ramos saw this sentence confirmed on appeal, Thursday, by the criminal chamber near the court of appeal of Tangier. He would have sexually abused minor residents of a Moroccan-Spanish orphanage.
About ten restaurants have been closed in Casablanca , Marrakech, Tangier and Agadir for non-compliance with the health protocol imposed on owners, in order to curb the spread of the coronavirus in the kingdom.
The announcement of the re-confinement in Tanger on Monday, July 13 dashes the hopes of tourism professionals who were hoping to achieve significant sales figures during the summer period, in order to turn the page on the negative impact of the health crisis related to Covid-19 on the sector.
Two days after the authorities’ restriction on train traffic to and from Tangier, previously decreed on Monday, July 13, 2020, the National Railway Office (ONCF) announced the resumption of its trains to the city of northern Morocco as of this Wednesday July.
Preventive measures have been taken by the public authorities of Tangier following the discovery of new outbreaks in the city. In this regard, the National Railway Office (ONCF) has decided to suspend its train connections to and from the city, since Monday, July 13, 2020.
Following the discovery of new outbreaks in neighborhoods of Tangier, the entrances to the target areas in the city have been closed since this Sunday at midnight. The idea is to succeed in containing the spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic and limiting its negative repercussions.
The partnership between the council of the Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma region, the Souss-Massa region and the airline Air Arabia has been renewed a few months before its expiration (2021). The Tangier-Agadir links have been increased in this new agreement.
Ittihad Tanger has again seen three of its members test positive for the coronavirus. The pandemic, like a formidable opponent, is therefore still in the camp of this football club.
