    In addition, the Lebanese government on Tuesday issued a new series of measures to strengthen the fight against the spread of the new Coronavirus in Lebanon, notably by creating crisis cells within the municipalities and a fund to receive donations dedicated to the cause.

    Subsequently, the government is asking for financial support from willing people, locally and abroad.
