Lebanon declared, on Monday, a state of health emergency after registering record numbers of new infections with the novel Coronavirus during the last week, deciding, at the same time, to impose more strict measures with regard to the general lockdown.

In recent days, officials and doctors have reported that major hospitals have exceeded their capacity. During the past few days, infected people have had to wait for long hours in emergency departments before they could be provided with beds. Hospitals treated arriving patients in their cars, due to overcrowding in emergency rooms and departments designated for the pandemic cases.
