The fight against the coronavirus is still ongoing in many countries such as Morocco. The fear of an upsurge in contagions is leading to measures being taken to try to curb the number of cases. Morocco has therefore decided to extend the state of health emergency. The extension of the law has been approved by the government council and will be extended throughout the country for another month. 

The Council, after a long meeting, decided to extend the rule, which will be effective from Saturday 30 April 2022 at 18:00 hours. Its end, if everything remains in order and the number of cases is decreasing, will be Tuesday 31 May at the same time. The project comes under decree no. 2.22.3311 presented by the Minister of the Interior, Abdelouafi Laftit.

The news was declared to the media at a press conference after the meeting. Mustapha Baitas, Minister Delegate for Relations with Parliament and government spokesman, announced the extension. Through the decision of the country's executive, the aim is to continue with the orders put in place to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of previous measures taken against the spread of the virus. For the government, the important thing is to reduce the contagion curve as much as possible and thus to reassure Moroccan citizens that everything is returning to normal.
