Morocco tightens the night curfew in the month of Ramadan

Morocco announced the tightening of the restrictions of the night curfew during the month of Ramadan, which begins in mid-April, in order to curb the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic.

A government statement said that it had decided to "ban night movement at the national level every day from 8:00 until 6:00 am, while maintaining the various precautionary measures previously announced."

This decision will lead to the suspension of collective evening prayers in mosques, and it is prohibited for families to leave after Iftar.

Morocco has been in a state of health emergency since mid-March, and the curfew has been in place since December, but the authorities recently strengthened preventive measures to limit the spread of the virus and its mutated versions.

A few dozen cases of the British mutated version have been detected in seven regions in the Kingdom, according to the Ministry of Health.

The borders were closed, while flights were suspended with thirty countries in recent weeks, after resuming them, based on exceptions.

Morocco has officially recorded 499,025 injuries, including 8,865 deaths, while about four million people have received the vaccine since the national vaccination campaign was launched at the end of January.
