Burial rites in Morocco have seen big changes amid the coronavirus outbreak. While the Health Ministry has implemented a special protocol for the burial of those with Covid-19, the lockdown has pushed several Moroccans to bury their loved ones without holding funerals.
The funerals of the two brothers who died in Jerada have nearly resulted in clashes between protesters and the police. On Monday, the president of the Oriental region visited the city, announcing the arrival of a ministerial delegation.
Moroccan NGOs in Germany have been able to facilitate the search for a Moroccan national’s family after he was found dead by German Authorities. Through an announcement issued by the Kingdom’s consulate in Frankfurt and with the help of the Ministry of Moroccans Residing Abroad and Emigration Affairs alongside associations, members of Mimoun Boussaad's family were informed of his death and his body will be buried in Nadour, Morocco.
