A few days before the launch of the vaccination campaign against the new coronavirus in Morocco, the operations to identify priority people are in their final stages. Depending on the region, health facilities are expected to welcome hundreds of people per day.
In a new study, researchers from Oxford University developed a new scanning technique that identified damage to the lungs of Covid-19 patients, months after infections. The damage is believed to be linked to «long Covid».
In Morocco, several recovered Covid-19 patients have reported lingering and persistent symptoms. They include the loss of taste and smell, fatigue, breathing difficulties and weight loss.
Around the world, tens of vaccines against Covid-19 have already reached the final trial stages. Morocco, which wants to start a vaccination campaign in a few weeks, will have a wide choice.
