Arabic: These are the U.S. conditions for economical aid, and this is how we're sanctioning Hezbullah.

🇺🇸🇱🇧 The U.S. will not provide medical assistance to Lebanon because the country’s health ministry is “run by Hezbollah”, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Near Eastern Affairs, David Schenker, told LBCI TV on Thursday.

Note: However regardless of this, Lebanon was able to successfully flatten the curve after implementing a lock down since 29 February. Lebanon recorded less than 1k cases and is allowing Lebanese diapsora to come back. @COVID19Up

🇱🇧 After the partial reopening in Lebanon, COVID-19 cases have seen a rise as 5-6 new army soldiers in the military court tested positive.

Today lebanon recorded today 13 new cases, 11 which were locally. This is the highest in 2 weeks.

The military court cluster started by a single soldier who went to work and infected a minimum of 12 others. He was infected by his father, who he knew tested positive just one day after he went to work.

10 new cases from the returnees from Russia will be announced tomorrow too.

The health minister said he might order an extra full 48 lockdown if cases keep increasing to do more full scale testing around Lebanon.

-- It seems that the new cases in Lebanon that were recorded locally are related to an irresponsible returnee that was evacuated to Lebanon.

He didn't quarantine for 14 days and have created at least 2 new clusters.

Lebanon today announced 36 new COVID-19 cases, 23 locally and 13 from the returnees from Russia, Belarus, and Cameron. This is the highest number since March.

The 23 local cases are connected to the returnees who did not abide by the 14 day quarantine.

Lebanon will go under a four-day countrywide lockdown, the government announced on Tuesday, following a surge in coronavirus cases over the past week.

The decision was made during a four-hour cabinet meeting with the country's president, Michel Aoun. The lockdown will go into force from 7pm on Wednesday evening until 5am on Monday morning.

Lebanon’s interior ministry is set to release a statement on travelling curbs and other restrictions that the lockdown will entail. However, information minister Manal Abdel-Samad said that all businesses, with the exception of those in the medical, industrial, and agricultural sectors, will be closed.

-- 5 returnees were will ordered to stand in court after they falsified contact information to avoid being monitored during the 14 day self quarantine.

These 5 are part of 40 other returnees that falsified their contact information and contributed to the spread of COVID-19.
