In Morocco, the first case was detected on March 02, 2020. Few days later, new cases are notified, followed by deaths. The government decided to adopt large-scale drastic measures against the epidemic. This study aims to describe and analyse the COVID-19 distribution in Morocco, according to key measures taken to curb this health problem.
An observational study of all cases daily reported by the Ministry of Health of Morocco from 02 March to 05 May 2020, was carried out. A mapping was performed.
Before the implementation of the state of health emergency, 86 confirmed cases out of 471 biological examinations carried out have been reported and the highest cumulative incidence (0.43 cases per 100,000 inhabitants) was recorded in Fes-Meknes region. During the 1st quarantine, 2,960 positive cases out of 15,915 examinations carried out have been detected. Marrakech-Safi region was the most affected (15.33 cases per 100,000 inhabitants). Halfway through extended quarantine, 2,173 confirmed cases out of 49,570 biological examinations realized have been notified, the highest cumulative incidence has observed in Draa-Tafilalet region (27.45 cases per 100,000 inhabitants). The highest mortality was observed in Marrakech-Safi region (1.05 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants) and the highest case fatality rate (13.46%) was registered in Souss-Massa region.
The strategy adopted by Morocco has enabled it to avoid a health catastrophe. But, it's not over yet. Morocco should continue the massive efforts and reinforce the existing measures against the virus, especially in regions very affected by the epidemic.
2020 年 3 月 2 日，摩洛哥首次检测到病例。几天后，又通报了新的病例和死亡病例。政府决定针对疫情采取大规模严厉措施。本研究旨在根据遏制这一卫生问题所采取的关键措施，描述和分析摩洛哥的 COVID-19 分布情况。
对摩洛哥卫生部从 2020 年 3 月 2 日至 5 月 5 日每天报告的所有病例进行了观察性研究。进行了绘图。
在实施卫生紧急状态之前，已报告 471 次生物检查中的 86 例确诊病例，而在非斯-梅克内斯地区记录到的最高累积发病率（每 10 万人中有 0.43 例）。在第一次隔离期间，在进行的 15915 次检查中发现了 2960 例阳性病例。马拉喀什-萨菲地区受影响最大（每 10 万人中有 15.33 例）。在延长隔离期进行到一半时，在进行的 49570 次生物检查中报告了 2173 例确诊病例，在德拉-塔菲拉勒地区观察到的最高累积发病率最高（每 10 万人中有 27.45 例）。马拉喀什-萨菲地区的死亡率最高（每 10 万人中有 1.05 人死亡），而苏斯-马萨地区的病死率最高（13.46%）。
摩洛哥采取的策略使其避免了一场卫生灾难。但还没有结束。摩洛哥应继续大力加强针对该病毒的现有措施，特别是在受疫情严重影响的地区。
