Covid-19: Morocco to extend night curfew

Rabat – Morocco will lengthen its night curfew, starting two hours earlier at 9 p.m. (2000 GMT) from Tuesday, as it tightens restrictions to curb a surge in coronavirus infections, the government said on Monday.

The business and tourist hubs of Casablanca, Agadir and Marakech will be closed except to holders of the vaccine pass or those on necessary travel, the government said in a statement.

The move is expected to hurt the tourism business which pinned hopes on the summer season to attract national tourists after travel receipts dropped 70% in the first half this year.
