Lebanon to reimpose lockdown amid spike in virus cases
BEIRUT — Lebanese authorities announce a new lockdown and an overnight curfew to rein in a spike in coronavirus infections.
The new measures will come into effect on Friday and last just over two weeks, the interior ministry says, adding that they won’t affect the clean-up and aid effort following the devastating August 4 Beirut port blast.
