The Coronavirus follow up committee head Assem Araji told LBCI on Wednesday that the upcoming lockdown is very similar to the previous one, adding that the many exceptions in the imposed closure "will lead to either stopping the number of daily cases at 3000 or improving the situation a little bit."
He also called on for stricter measures, adding that those abiding by the lockdown rules are paying the price because of those who are not.
Lebanon announced a full lockdown for three weeks, including a night curfew, to stem a rise in COVID-19 infections that threatens to overwhelm hospitals.
