Morocco faces down COVID spread with tough rules With air and sea borders closed for months and eight cities barring people from entering or leaving, Morocco has been pulling out the stops to stanch the spread of coronavirusRABAT, Morocco -- With air and sea borders closed for months and eight cities barring people from entering or leaving, Morocco has been pulling out the stops to stanch the spread of coronavirus. Morocco first decreed lockdown measures on March 20, but has been gradually easing restrictions. In the northern city of Tangiers, military vehicles were deployed last month to help enforce measures there. In Casablanca, tough measures to keep people from leaving town are in place. The rise in cases has come as a blow to Morocco, which had been phasing out lockdown measures.
