Caretaker Minister of Health Hamad Hassan said on Monday that the infection rate in Lebanon has reached 120 cases per 100,000 people weekly, adding that such a rate draws the country near the scenes that we used to see in Europe.
The caretaker minister also noted that “success of the bold decision to isolate a number of regions constitutes the last chance for the country to defeat the virus,” calling on all municipalities to respond positively with the closure decision.
“We don’t have the luxury of time and all hospitals are required to participate in helping Lebanese citizens,” he added.
