King Mohammed VI has to take rest

The Moroccan royal palace says a doctor has ordered King Mohammed VI placed in convalescence for five days for a digestive infection.

A palace statement carried by the state news agency MAP cites palace doctor Abdelaziz Maauni as saying the infection poses 'no concerns for his health'. MAP says the king has a rotavirus infection with acute dehydration. Wednesday's statement provided no other details.
