Adwan said Lebanese authorities had so far succeeded in containing the spread of the virus by taking swift action, such as closing the countrys airports and ports “as soon as the global pandemic was declared”.
“This has resulted in a lot of Lebanese nationals being stuck outside the country,” he acknowledged, adding that the country would start repatriating its citizens in France and elsewhere on Sunday, in coordination with the national carrier Middle East Airlines.
