Rabat, Morocco (TMT)- Morocco’s testing capacity will reach in the next few days 10, 000 tests per day, according to the Moroccan head of government Saaededine Othmani.
Othmani, who was speaking yesterday amid a joint session between the parliament’s two houses, stressed: “We are all rallied now to reach 10, 000 tests per day.”
“At the start of the pandemic, only around 1000 tests were performed, all in two testing centers,” Othmani stressed.

At the time of writing, Morocco has capped since the start of the pandemic around 90,000 tests.
