    The Coronavirus Follow-up Committee issued new preventive measures and procedures after a meeting held on Saturday. The recommendations are the following:

    • Adopting the positive results of the tests conducted in most Lebanese towns and villages to determine the level of risk in them.
    • Request the Ministry of Public Health to increase the number of tests conducted in villages that are classified as dangerous and in which the number of cases is increasing.
    • Leaving the decision of closing or opening educational institutions and administrative units in towns and villages that are not under lockdown to be issued by the Minister of Education.
    • Order the lockdown of the listed towns.
    • Emphasizing the wearing of the masks and strictly fining violators.
    • Banning all kinds of social events, closing governmental and private institutions and schools in the villages under lockdown, and coordinating with religious authorities in terms of holding prayers.
    • Following these recommendations for one week.
