The eye is on the next closure decision announced a few days after the completion of the study of the mechanisms to implement the general mobilization that the Acting Minister of Public Health, Hamad Hassan, called for hardening in the face of the catastrophic increase in the number of injured by “Crown” in the country.

The decision is still under discussion and in the final touches between the ministries and the competent authorities, so that the mobilization does not contribute as much as possible to economically asphyxiate the country, and enjoys the minimum security of applicability and guarantee of results, especially in light of previous disappointing experiences.

Although the information indicated that the announcement of the hardening of the mobilization was a matter of days, questions about the schools and their inclusion in the closure decision increased.

In this context, informed sources told Al-Nahar that schools will not be excluded from the closure decision, and will definitely not open their doors during the mobilization, especially since sources from the Ministry of Education consider that implementing the model that keeps schools open during closing it is not applicable in Lebanon. , “Our situation abroad cannot be compared, neither in the capacity of the hospital sector nor in anything else”, so the Minister of Education refuses to be responsible for any damage that affects students and their family circles for not adhere to closure if the decision is made.

Medical sources close to the official committee concerned with combating the spread of # Corona in Lebanon told Al-Nahar that the epidemiological situation in Lebanon has reached truly catastrophic limits, making it no longer possible to delay the adoption of the general closure, probably from the middle of next week.

Although the date for the start of the general closure has not yet been set, pending the communication and coordination processes underway between the different ministries, especially the Ministries of Health, Interior and Social Affairs, and the security and military, the start of next week will be decisive for the decision maker to determine the day on which the general shutdown will begin for a short period of time. Less than two weeks, maybe three.

These sources say that the situation in hospitals has reached the height of danger with the spread of injuries to the medical and nursing staff, and the death of a young doctor in the prime of his life in the last hours is a very advanced warning about the dangers that surround the medical and nursing staff due to the great exhaustion it suffers as a result of the constant increase in injuries. On the one hand, the inability of hospitals to contain more wounded and patients on the other.

Added to that, the constant and worrying increase in the number of injured has made it imperative to close public and private institutions and stop all aspects of the mix within public and private institutions, companies and offices, in addition to prohibiting all social events, until curfew for two to three weeks, otherwise it will be impossible without these strict preventive measures. Without a terrifying catastrophe that threatens Lebanon and the Lebanese.

He said that all the official and competent authorities fully agreed on the measures to be taken and that the coordination process will be completed in the next few hours so that the government announces the decision in a timely manner at the beginning of the week, most likely giving a few days as an opportunity. for citizens to supply their housing needs during the closing period, and noted that exceptions will be adopted during the closing period will be limited this time.

Today, the Minister of Health considered that “to make the closure decision there is more than one given, and the health factor alone is not a criterion, and when we make the closure decision, we must prepare all the conditions for its success and not just announcing that we are closed for two weeks. “

And the Ministry of Public Health announced, in its daily report on the Corona virus, 1,769 new cases of the virus, And it reported 13 new deaths in the last 24 hours.
