The surge in COVID-19 cases in Morocco prompted authorities to implement new preventive measures. Wearing protective masks in public and in the workplace is now mandatory, and anyone who fails to comply with the new measure risks arrest and fines.
Law-breaching citizens and residents may face a prison term from one to three months and a fine ranging from MAD 300 to MAD 1300 ($29 to $126), or one of the two penalties.
