Speaking before the Parliament, Head of government Saadeddine El Othmani announced that Morocco is extending the lockdown by three additional weeks. He touched upon the developments of the pandemic in the Kingdom.
The repatriation operation that brought Moroccans stranded in Melilla home was allegedly marked by irregularities. It did not include the poorest members of the Moroccan communities who are still stranded on the other side of the border.
One of the Moroccans stranded in Melilla and repatriated on Friday tested positive for Covid-19. Others who tested negative will be tested again in a few days to rule out any infection.
