LEBANON remains open to naval and air shipping amid the coronavirus pandemic that has prompted the government to order civilians to remain home for two weeks and close the Beirut international airport last month.
The country now has at least 256 confirmed cases of Covid-19, after the number of infections rose in the northern district of Zgharta and that "a total lockdown will be imposed on the region", according Lebanese lawmaker Michel Moawad, reported Jeddah's Arab News.
Lebanese people are still confining themselves to their homes under the monitoring of the army and security forces, which were put in charge of reporting any violation of the lockdown.
At the port of Beirut, authorities have declared their commitment to providing masks and other protection materials for visitors.
Port of Beirut managing director Hassan Koraytem said: "The port building, offices and entrances controlled by the army, general security, customs and state security will all be sterilized."
He added that "a circular will be issued to all shipping and goods clearing companies not to deploy personnel who are more vulnerable to the disease than others, especially people above 60 with chronic diseases."
