BEIRUT (Reuters) – The health minister for Lebanon’s caretaker government was cited as saying on Wednesday that the tally of coronavirus cases in Lebanon was “concerning,” an official of the Supreme Defense Council said on television, reading out a statement by the council.
Hamad Hassan added that hospital capacity needed to be increased to help combat the spike in cases, the official said.
