This decision was taken following a meeting of the standardization committee, in charge of establishing standardized Moroccan characteristics for the disinfection tunnels and the products used, the source says, adding that the committee does not currently have all the necessary scientific elements to set these standards.

It was thus decided to ban the use and marketing of disinfection tunnels because of the dangers that exposure to products used in the disinfection operation pose to the health of users.

According to the same source, these tunnels could be useful to disinfect devices and products used for the storage, packaging, handling and transport of goods.

All the disinfection tunnels intended for people that have been set up at the entrance of establishments, public spaces or shops or any other place must be removed, the statement points out, adding that any violation of this decision will lead to legal action.
