Ministry of Health Denies Reports on Acquisition of 100,000 Test Kits from South Korea

Director of Epidemiology at the Ministry of Health, Mohamed El Youbi, denied on Tuesday reports on the acquisition by Morocco of 100,000 coronavirus test kits from a South Korean firm.

"These are fake news," El Youbi told MAP.

Morocco does indeed receive test kits from several countries, but the figure of 100.000 kits is "speculative", he pointed out.
