On Saturday, Morocco registered 97 new coronavirus confirmed cases over the past 24 hours, raising the total cases to 1545, according to the state's ministry of health.

In a statement, the ministry added that 4 new deaths have also been confirmed, increasing the death toll to 111.

"The number of cases excluded after negative test results carried out in the laboratory amounted to 6,207," the ministry noted.

The ministry urged citizens to respect the rules of hygiene and health security as well as the preventive measures taken by the Moroccan authorities by showing responsibility and patriotism.

Several world countries have tightened restrictions on movement and travel, with the aim of curbing the spread of the Coronavirus, and some have pledged billions of dollars in economic stimulus programs to reduce the economic repercussions of the crisis.

It is worth mentioning that, more cases of the virus, which causes respiratory disease COVID-19, continue to emerge, with outbreaks in South Korea, Italy, and Iran.

People across the globe partake in self-isolation for 14 days as an effective precautionary measure to protect those around them and themselves from contracting COVID-19.

Transmission of virus between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough.

It can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.

The global death toll of new coronavirus “COVID-19” is dramatically increasing, hitting 107,645.

Meanwhile the number of coronavirus confirmed cases registered one million and 760 thousand and 995 cases globally.
