While hospital facilities are overcrowded in the Tanger -Tétouan-Al Hoceima region, hotel owners have categorically refused to accommodate patients with coronavirus. Meanwhile, authorities are working to find solutions.

The regional health department of Tangier -Tetouan is looking for volunteers to strengthen the healthcare staff during this period of health crisis.

Faced with the covid-19 pandemic, the city of Tétouan has taken new preventive measures that apply to both merchants and citizens. These measures concern the marketing of Chebakia and other traditional pastries specific to the month of Ramadan.

The authorities in Tetouan want to restrict outings for market shopping through the control of attendance in popular markets and the affixing of the date on the exceptional exit authorizations of people.

The city of Tetouan recorded its first case of coronavirus recovery. The patient left the Saniat Rmel hospital on Thursday around noon, after undergoing medical and clinical tests that confirmed her full recovery.

11 doctors, including 7 in Casablanca, 2 in Rabat and 2 in Tétouan, were infected with the coronavirus, this Friday.

Faced with the coronavirus pandemic, all food stores (grocers, convenience stores...) and large stores will be closed every day at 6 p.m. This is the decision of the competent authorities.

Following violations of confinement in the cities of Tangier , Tetouan, Fez and Sale, the public prosecutor’s office has decided to open an investigation.

The doctor of a private clinic in Tetouan and his wife, as well as the support staff, suspected of being infected with the Coronavirus , have been placed in quarantine by the health authorities.

While some are raising awareness for the scrupulous respect of the measures taken by the Moroccan authorities to contain the spread of the coronavirus, others, through publications, are inciting to boycott these provisions. This is the case of these two individuals, aged 38 and 45, arrested this week in Tetouan.

The 4 members of the same family, who arrived in Tétouan at the end of last week, from Belgium, have just received the results of the coronavirus diagnostic test.
