The Moroccan Minister of Health, Houcine El Ouardi stressed yet again this week that no case of the Ebola epidemic was detected in Morocco, since the outbreak of the deadly virus from Guinea.
During a press conference held last Monday in Rabat, Louardi added that Morocco is setting up “a national watch and response” plan to stand alert, in the first place, and counter any prospective case of the epidemic.
El Ouardi added that part of the aforementioned plan, Morocco has raised the process of health monitoring at the level of access points to a higher level.
The Moroccan authorities are taking the Ebola threats very seriously and are following to the letter the measures of the International Health System, especially that the country is expected to host the prestigious 2014 FIFA Clubs World Cup during the month of December, a competition which will witness the participation of Real Madrid.
One month later, Morocco will host also another major competition, namely the African Cup of Nation 2015.
