As the number of “Corona” virus infections increases in Lebanon, amid the disappearance of precautionary measures taken in Lebanon to deal with the pandemic, the interim government’s Minister of Public Health, Hamad Hassan, said that “in case If the occupancy rate of intensive care beds for Corona patients increases, we will return to the closure of the country. “
He continued during his press conference on Sunday: “Tomorrow the scientific committee will meet in the morning to study the measures to be taken with regard to arrivals from London to Beirut and to tighten the follow-up measures and study the possibility of returning to the mandatory quarantine of arrivals “.
He added: “The latest data says that ‘Pfizer’ is highly effective in Corona and the new strain is spreading rapidly, but so far it has not shown that it is more deadly but is spreading faster, noting that” we are continuing with the vaccine. “Pfizer” and we have other vaccine options that can be used, but our behavior is still the first and last protector against the epidemic, and we cannot prevent the new strain of Corona from entering the country. “
He concluded: “There is a problem in the payment mechanism of the Lebanese University with respect to the pcr exams carried out by the laboratories of the Lebanese University that are in charge of the arrivals examinations, and we are trying to find a solution to the mechanism payment”.
