Moroccan King Calls On All Stakeholders To Be Vigilant In The Face Of COVID-19

AL HOCEIMA || HM King Mohammed VI on Thursday called on all stakeholders to be mobilized and vigilant, and to get actively involved in national efforts to promote awareness and provide guidance to the citizens so as to stem the epidemic of Covid-19.

"In addition to the measures taken by government authorities, I call on all stakeholders to be mobilized and vigilant, and to get actively involved in national efforts to promote awareness and provide guidance to the citizens so as to stem the epidemic," the Sovereign said in a speech on the occasion of the 67th anniversary of the Revolution of the King and the People.

The monarch underlined in this regard that without exemplary, responsible and patriotic attitudes on the part of each one, there will be no way out of this situation, and we will not be able to rise to the challenge posed by the epidemic.

"My message to you today is not meant to be one of rebuke or blame. I am simply relaying directly to you my fear that the number of infections and deaths might - God forbid - continue to grow, thus compelling us to return to a complete lockdown, with its psychological, social and economic repercussions," the Sovereign stressed.

"Today, as we celebrate the anniversary of the Revolution of the King and the People, we need, more than ever, to reminisce about the values of sacrifice, solidarity and loyalty underpinning that event in order to make it through these tough times," HM the King said.

There is no doubt in my mind that Moroccans can rise to the challenge, follow in the footsteps of their forebears and commit to the spirit of true patriotism and constructive citizenship, for the good of the people and the homeland, the Sovereign added.
