The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed concern over the situation in the Maghreb region in the coming weeks due to the advent of religious occasions where gatherings are increasing, such as Eid Al-Adha , and the laxity of many citizens of these countries to adhere to prevention measures.
In this wake, the WHO has warned of the possibility of a large wave of infections in the Maghreb in the coming weeks. A fear justified among other things by the dangerousness of the Delta variant and the consequences induced by the celebration of the festival of Eid Al-Adha.
Morocco is no exception to this situation according to WHO experts. Conscious, Morocco, is preparing to face a third wave more devastating than its previous ones which will be faster, which will rise higher, but which will be especially less lethal, thanks to the vaccination.
What an atmosphere of Eid El Adha
To date, more than 10 million people have received both doses in Morocco. Also, it is with full knowledge of the facts that in official circles, we shout haro on the brazen knowing that the Delta variant is already among us, and that it is at the origin of the scale of the current outbreak.
Unfortunately and for a second consecutive year, Moroccans will celebrate Aïd Al Adha in an unprecedented health context. Religious festivals have lost their way there, cultural, friendly and human due to the constraints imposed by Dame Covid.
The Kingdom, for this second exercise, adopted a flexible approach by easing some restrictions on the time of the two days dedicated to the feast of sacrifice. A respite only. Because for all that, relief, the executive immediately enacted as part of the fight against the pandemic from Friday July 23, 2021 at 11:00 p.m. new constraints or measures to fight against the spread of the pandemic.

Through this measure, we can see the desire to make travel between prefectures and provinces conditional on the presentation of the vaccination passport or an administrative travel authorization issued by the competent territorial authorities. The seriousness of the situation requiring travel to be limited and strict observance of the barrier measures.
As for the other measures, this is the ban on all parties and weddings, and commemorative ceremonies, with a maximum of 10 people in funeral ceremonies, and a maximum of 50% of the capacity of cafes and restaurants.
Public transport and public swimming pools are not to be outdone, of which it is not necessary to exceed 50% of the reception capacity. Finally, gatherings and activities in open spaces must not exceed 50 people, with the obligation to obtain authorization from the local authorities in the event of this being exceeded.
Watch out for a relapse
This being to come back to the festival of Eid El-Adha which is of major importance for Moroccan citizens and which does not relate to the only ritual of sacrifice, it will have with a few differences the flavors of before last August.
Except that this time, Eid will be celebrated under the sign of vigilance, Lady Covid and its variants under the Greek alphabet and other horizons (Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Lambda, Delta …, Indian, British, South African … ) are spread insolently in Morocco with the damage that we know.
Moroccan health authorities have also warned of the increased risk of an epidemiological relapse which would destroy all the efforts made so far. Also, there is great concern about citizens not respecting barrier measures and hygiene rules to stem the spread of the virus.
The supervisory ministry alerts so that the summer season combined with Eid Al Adha, take place under the sign of responsibility, vigilance, prudence and respect for health measures in order to avoid our country a relapse to devastating economic and social consequences.
