For the first time since the outbreak of coronavirus in Morocco on March 2, the number of remissions has exceed that of contaminations. Between Sunday afternoon and this Monday morning, the number of remissions, established by the Ministry of Health stands at 76, bringing the total number of covid-19 patients who were discharged from hospital to 669. “It is encouraging, but it is premature to conclude that the cases of contamination in Morocco have declined. The number of negative covid-19 cases reached 24,301 in the North African Kingdom, which has speeded up and enhanced testing operations. According to Health minister Khalid Ait Taleb, the expansion of Covid-19 testing capacity has helped to identify people who have acquired immunity after recovery as well as those infected with the virus.
