Among the preventive measures adopted by Morocco to deal with this "exceptional situation", the Chilean newspaper cited the strengthening of the surveillance system, the closure of Moroccan air and sea space, the cancellation of sporting, cultural and artistic gatherings and events and the creation of a special fund for the management of the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19).

 In this article, by Roberto León Ramirez, lawyer and president of the Friends of Morocco group in Chile, emphasis was also placed on the government's appeal to citizens to restrict and limit their movements and to respect "sanitary confinement" in their homes as a necessary preventive measure to stem the spread of Covid-19.

Morocco has taken various measures including the suspension, until further notice, of international maritime, air and land links, the creation, on the instructions of HM King Mohammed VI, of a special fund dedicated to the management of the coronavirus pandemic, the suspension of courses in all educational and training institutions with the establishment of distance learning platforms "to ensure pedagogical continuity," said the same source.

In addition, an Economic Monitoring Committee has been set up to monitor the country's economic situation on a daily basis, the Chilean website added.

In order to prevent the spread of infection in prisons, HM the King has granted his pardon to 5,654 inmates and ordered to take all necessary measures to strengthen the protection of prisoners within penal institutions, especially against the spread of the coronavirus epidemic, "El Periodista" recalled.
