Morocco’s Ministry of Health confirmed new COVID-19 cases, bringing the total number to 437 as of March 29.
What is new is the number of screening tests carried out in the past three days. While it struggled to exceed the threshold of 1000 tests for three weeks, the number of people screened now stands at 1813 this Saturday at 6 p.m. Despite this increase, the number of tests carried out in Morocco remains very low. With the strengthening of the screening kit system in Morocco, this situation will probably change.
On Friday, March 27, the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Administrative Reform announced the allocation of 2 billion dirhams (MMDH) for purchase of the medical device and this, as part of the Special fund for the management of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. This amount was used mainly for the purchase of medical and hospital equipment (1,000 resuscitation beds, 550 respirators, 100,000 sampling kits, 100,000 test kits, radiology and imaging equipment ...), indicates this ministry. The acquisition of 100,000 screening kits will considerably strengthen the country's capacity to carry out tests to limit the spread of the new coronavirus.
