The Moroccan government has decided to ban the Labor Day rallies traditionally held on May 1st due to the ongoing restrictions imposed in the country to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. The state of public health emergency has been extended in Morocco on April 10 for another month. Furthermore, the North African Kingdom is observing a night curfew during the holy month Ramadan from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. This means that Taraweeh and night prayers are prohibited in Mosques which remain open for worshippers during daylight hours. Over 9.1 million people have been immunized in the Kingdom, including 4.7 million people who received their two shots.
