Closing Barbershops in Morocco for the Second Time in Two Months

Barbershops, nail salons, jewelry stores and other similar personal service providers are closing starting on Saturday to combat the spread of the deadly coronavirus that has killed thousands in the African country. The executive order issued by the president is the second step he has taken, following the closing of hospitals, nightclubs, amusement parks, zoos, gyms and schools. The government has also ordered all beaches and public places to close until the situation in West Africa’s biggest country is under control.

The government has also instructed travelers to cancel their trips to Morocco as a precautionary measure. Since there are no medical facilities for the ill and injured in the country, the doctors working at the hospitals have already been told to evacuate. Some families are planning to send money to Morocco to hire a nanny and a nurse in order to take care of the sick in the country.

A medical team from Morocco is expected to arrive in the country this week to help deal with the crisis. The outbreak is believed to have originated in Guinea. There is a high possibility that the virus may have circulated into neighboring countries like Sierra Leone, Liberia and Mali.

The head of the international aid group Doctors Without Borders said that if the outbreak continues to spread in West Africa, more people could become infected. The doctor, who was not authorized to speak to the media, said that the number of patients is increasing every day, and the medical teams will not be enough to handle the situation. Doctors are currently treating about 400 patients at hospitals in Monrovia and Foya. A total of 870 patients have been admitted in the two hospitals so far.

According to the United Nations, a total of 7,912 cases have been reported in Morocco. The countries hit hardest by the outbreak are Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. The epidemic is now the largest and deadliest in the country since the beginning of its civil war.

In addition to closing the barbershops in Morocco, the government has implemented a strict quarantine procedure to stop the transmission of the virus in humans. A strict clean-up campaign is being conducted throughout the entire country. The Health Ministry announced that anyone who has come into contact with the sick patient is to report to the authorities immediately. This will include relatives, family members, patients, health care workers, airport staff and anyone who had come into contact with the infected person during the incubation period.
