Restrictions and neighborhood closures in Moroccan cities – Moroccan ladies

To cope with the resurgence of cases of contamination, new neighborhoods have been closed in Casablanca and Rabat. Restrictions and increased controls are also observed in Marrakech. Other cities risk suffering the same fate. The details.

The figures for new Covid-19 infections, announced every evening at 6 p.m., far exceed a thousand cases. A situation that prompted the authorities to close certain neighborhoods to stem the spread of the virus. Thus, in Marrakech where the epidemiological situation is becoming worrying, the local authorities proceeded on August 16 to the closure of several neighborhoods and urban areas. This is the case in the areas of Sidi Youssef Ben Ali, Hay Hassani, Hay Mohammadi, M’hamid, Menara, Jemaa Fna and Kechich where control operations, partial or total closure of certain neighborhoods have been established, as well as limitation of travel except in cases of extreme necessity. Other measures, such as the total closure of the gardens or the green spaces of the ocher city, and the closure of cafes and restaurants have been set for 10 p.m., markets and souikates at 5 p.m. or the ban on gatherings in public spaces and in front of bank branches and the like came into effect.
In Casablanca, and after the closure of the Hay Mohammadi district, of districts and arteries in the old medina, then in Bouchentouf and Salmia, two new districts were locked on August 17 by the authorities in Anassi (Sidi Moumen) and Maaguiz (Sidi Bernoussi). The province of Skhirat-Temara is also affected by restrictive measures, such as the closure of sports halls and hammams or even beaches. New hours have been established for shops and cafes (closing at 9 p.m.) as well as for joutias and street vendors who will have to cease their activity at 6 p.m. These measures will be reinforced by roadblocks of controls in order to reduce travel in cases of extreme necessity.
In this difficult context, it is worth remembering again and again the need to comply with preventive health measures by wearing the protective mask and respecting physical distancing, among others. Let us redouble our vigilance and show responsibility and solidarity to stem this scourge.
