The Moroccan state news agency says half have been placed in custody while their cases are investigated.
More than 50,000 people have been arrested in the country since a nationwide lockdown was introduced in mid-March and wearing a mask outside the home became compulsory.
There are 3,377 confirmed coronavirus cases in Morocco, making it the third worst-hit country on the continent.
