The Moroccan government announced a nationwide curfew
and other restrictive measures Monday, as it seeks to slow the
spread of the novel coronavirus.
The curfew will be in place between the hours of 9:00 pm (2000
GMT) and 6:00 am and the new measures — also including a ban on
parties and public gatherings — will all kick in for a three-week
period from Wednesday, the government said in a statement reported
by the official MAP news agency.
