All time in contact with infected or suspect patients, these white coat soldiers were the most exposed professional category to the risks of contamination. In this regard, the world health organization recommended - in a press release dated March 23, 2020, the management of the disease caused by the Covid-19 for employees in the medical sector, under professional legislation, but also for all professional sectors exposed to the risk of contamination. In Morocco, the Ministry of Health has published on April 6, on its official website, a condolence statement intended for the families of the first two doctors who died after their contraction of the coronavirus while specifying that the cause of death of the two doctors is not due to the exercise of their professional functions. The Minister of Labor and Professional Integration has recently charged an internal commission to undertake a reflection on this issue. At present, given the Moroccan legal base, what are the possibilities of recognizing the professional nature of the disease caused by the coronavirus?.
