The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent confinement and social distancing measures have significantly altered economic activity. Since the first reported case of COVID-19 in Morocco on March 2, 2020, thousands of residents have contracted the disease, with more than 301,604 confirmed cases and 4,932 deaths until November 18, 2020.1 Recognizing the limitations of the health care system and the importance of acting swiftly, Morocco introduced stringent measures to reduce the spread of the virus. On March 20, 2020, the country declared a state of health emergency that suspended public events, enforced nighttime curfews, limited movements within and across cities, closed schools and public offices, and banned international travel. The confinement measures had a direct impact on formal and informal workers whose activities were put to a halt, as the sweeping majority of enterprises in the country experienced total or partial shutdown during the confinement. Even among those that had resumed their businesses, less than a third regained normal activity months after the first cases of the pandemic.
