    On Thursday, the World Bank approved $34 million to help Lebanon secure COVID-19 vaccines for 2 million people. The country expects to receive its first shipment of the vaccine in February.

    Meanwhile, Lebanon had to extend the lockdown and the active 24/7 curfew on Thursday, for 2 additional weeks, until February 8th.

    It’s worth noting that daily infection rates have remained mostly high throughout the lockdown.

    A noticeable drop in new cases, similar to that seen on Friday, was observed between Jan. 16-18, from 5,872 to 3,654 cases, then to 3,144 on Jan. 18th.
