The Ministry of Public Health reported 1,121 new COVID-19 infections over the past 24 hours, along with 9 deaths.

The Director General of Rafik Hariri University Hospital Dr. Firas Abiad, wrote a series of tweets on his Twitter account stating that the number of new Covid-19 infections is still high in Lebanon, although it is much lower than the number of cases the country reached during the last wave.

Abiad added: “It is worth noting that Rafik Hariri hospital received many patients that have been already vaccinated or infected with the virus, and this is undoubtedly due to the most contagious delta variant.”
