Coronavirus : Morocco to launch second operation of helping informal workers on May 14

A second operation to support informal workers, who have lost their jobs due to the state of health emergency, will start on Thursday, May 14, the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Administration Reform announced.

Financial aid to support these workers is from the Covid-19 Fund, created to manage the consequences of the health crisis. So far, 3.9 million households out of 4.3 million eligible ones, have benefited from the program, the Ministry said.

The second support operation will be based on the already recorded declarations and will take into account the control carried out by the Administration, underlined the same source, noting that the procedure for aid withdrawal is identical to the first operation and is based mainly on SMS sent to the mobile phones of the heads of the households concerned.
