Morocco Reports Two Limited Family Clusters of Diphtheria

Morocco’s Health Ministry has reported two limited family clusters of diphtheria in Agadir Ida-Outanane and Chtouka Ait Baha.

The announcement concerns infections within families in the two areas. The information provided did not specify how many people were affected or give details about their condition.

Although the cases raise questions about the disease’s return to Morocco, the ministry’s description was limited to the two family clusters. The summary did not establish the scale of any wider spread.

Details of public reaction were not included in the available information, making it impossible to assess how Moroccans have responded to the announcement.
