Hammam workers (traditional, Turkish-like baths) affected by the closure of the public venues due to the spread of Covid-19, will soon be compensated, Minister of State in charge of human rights and relations with parliament Mustapha Ramid said on Monday in Rabat. These workers will be identified in order to compensate them, given the damage suffered by this category because of the closure of their workplace, said Ramid at the House of Representatives in response to a question on the closure of traditional hammams. The closed hammams are located in 15 prefectures and provinces out of a total of 82, he noted, specifying that their reopening remains dependent on the improvement of the epidemiological situation and the decision of the ad hoc local committees. Their closure, especially in areas with a high number of coronavirus contaminations, is due to the fact that they are areas conducive to the spread of the virus, the government official recalled.
