The Al-Akhbar newspaper indicated that many Arab and European countries have been closed to the Lebanese due to the apprehension of their authorities about the exacerbation of the epidemiological reality in Lebanon, which is “progressing” between countries in terms of the rate of coronavirus infection registry; Being ranked 59th in the world, after less than two weeks it was ranked 69th, while it is considered among the “first countries” in terms of the ratio of injured to the population, “and this is a fact that all those involved take conscience “, according to quoted the newspaper to the director of the office of the minister of Tourism Mazen. Bou Dargham, noting that “Lebanon crossed the red lines and reached the point of no return.” This “point” is clarified by Bou Dargham by noting that with the upcoming depletion of the beds assigned to Corona patients, we will soon begin the process of differentiating between people who deserve to be placed on ventilators and we will witness a significant increase in the number of deaths “.
And Al-Akhbar continued: “According to the Ministry of Tourism, with the exception of Iraq and the United Arab Emirates in the Arab world, the doors of all Arab countries are now closed to the Lebanese, some of whom resort to” circumventing “the” ban “through third countries. In addition, with the exception of Turkey and France, most European countries” abstain from Currently, it is about granting visas to Lebanese or allowing those who come from Lebanon to enter directly to their lands, “while the doors are still open to travel to African countries and other countries in Asia and Latin America.”
He added: “It is striking that the countries that prohibit Lebanese from traveling to themselves register new infections with the virus daily. This is what sources from the Ministry of Health explain that the argument of these countries is ready: the proportion of terrifying infections that are recorded daily against the number of the population, and the loss of control over the epidemic, which makes Lebanese suspicious of all sources.
“We are one of the few countries that closed four times and then fell into the ban,” says Bou Dargham, blaming the blame on “a lack of social awareness and the tendency for people to sneak around and not compromise.” “The use of masks does not require severe penalties, and the same applies to meetings, private parties, etc.”
