Frontline workers in different parts of the country received their first doses of the anti-Covid-19 vaccine. The campaign was launched on Thursday, after King Mohammed VI received his first vaccine shot, launching the start of vaccination in Morocco.
Earlier this month, Morocco has decided to transfer all Covid-19 patients to two health facilities in Ben Guerir, near Marrakech, and Benslimane, near Casablanca. The decision is reassuring and relieving to citizens more than health workers, according to Dr Al Mountadar El Alaoui from the Independent Union of Public Sector Physicians (SIMSP).
In Morocco, several companies have decided to support health workers as the country is battling against the novel coronavirus. These companies offer free meals and accommodate doctors, nurses and hospital staff.
