The director of Hariri University Hospital, Firas Abyad, tweeted: “There are currently 23 patients in the Corona emergency department at Rafic Hariri University Hospital, waiting for empty beds. There is also an emergency department other than “Corona”, where 18 patients are also waiting for empty beds. Corona and other diseases do not watch TV and do not care about what is happening on the streets.

Abyad added: “Without a small measure of economic and social stability, health measures will not be able to control the pandemic, not even with the help of good vaccines. Health experts and hospitals have sounded the alarm, but to no avail, as restrictions are being eased or ignored. We ask for God’s kindness
