Lebanon returns to lockdown as virus cases surge
COVID-19 infections have risen steadily in Lebanon since the August explosion in Beirut.
Lebanon will return to lockdown this weekend as COVID-19 cases in the country continue to surge.
The general lockdown will begin on Saturday and last until Nov. 30, the Lebanese news outlet Naharnet reported.
According to the country’s health minister, there is not enough hospital space.
“We have reached a stage in which it is difficult to provide beds to coronavirus patients,” said Hamad Hassan, according to Naharnet.
