Moroccan students in Senegal are still in their respective university housing, despite the closure of university campuses in Senegal, as part of the measures taken to stem the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, said on Wednesday the Moroccan embassy in Dakar. The Embassy would like to reassure the parents and relatives of Moroccan students in the university housing of the Senegalese cities of Dakar, Saint Louis, and Thiès that these students, totaling 140, are still staying in their dormitories, despite the closure of campuses, as part of measures taken by the government of Senegal, said a press release by the embassy. The Embassy is in constant contact with said students as well as with the Senegalese authorities, since the closure of universities and university housing, so that the measures taken within the framework of the fight against the coronavirus epidemic do not affect the living conditions of these students, said the same source. As part of the follow-up of developments of the Coronavirus pandemic and its impact on Moroccan nationals abroad, the Moroccan Embassy in Dakar had set up since last weekend a crisis and communication unit for Moroccan nationals living in Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde.
