Objective: Review compliance with preventive measures to limit the spread of covid-19 during the containment period in Morocco. Method: An online questionnaire consisting of questions covering several areas: demographic data, knowledge of Covid-19, ports of contamination and precautionary measures. Results: A total of 352 participants responded to the survey, of which 69.3% were male, 48.6% were between 20 and 30 years of age and 37.2% were students. The Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region had the highest turnout with 59.9%. 20.98% of participants cover their mouths when coughing, 90.52% use liquid soap to wash their hands, 58.09% still wear face masks and 64.27% were satisfied with the prevention measures initiated by the Moroccan health authorities. Conclusion: Based on the results obtained and in the absence of treatment for this contagious disease, the best method of protection for you and your loved ones is to respect the measures and barrier gestures.
