20 employees at Morocco's national broadcaster the Broadcasting and Television National Company (SNRT) have tested positive for the coronavirus.

«Following the resumption of several vital activities at SNRT, positive cases of COVID 19 have been recorded among the employees», said the company in a press release sent Monday to Yabiladi.

Prior to resumption, staff on leave had to undergo antibody tests. SNRT indicated that it has implemented all the health and preventive measures, including remote work and staff rotation.

Last week, the National Union of the Moroccan Press (SNPM) alerted to the epidemiological situation among the staff of SNRT, particularly that of its sports channel Arryadia. 

The union called for the opening of an investigation to determine the possible shortcomings that would have exposed employees to the virus. It also insisted on strengthening preventive measures, particularly among technical teams and journalists.
