Health Minister says Scientific Committee advised country shutdown for two weeks

Minister of Health Hamad Hassan said on Monday that the Scientific Committee at the Ministry of Health recommended the closure of the country for two weeks, except for the airport.

“We cannot surrender at this moment. We will continue to raise our voice as we must strengthen the preventative measures against the Coronavirus,” the minister said following the committee’s meeting at the ministry’s headquarter.

Lebanon is witnessing a surge in Coronavirus cases on a daily basis which prompted authorities to sound the alarm, calling on citizens to abide by the preventive measures.
