Lebanon recorded 1,006 new cases of Covid-19 on Sunday, the largest daily increase since the start of the pandemic, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry -- marking the third consecutive day of record increases in cases.
Sunday's figures bring the country's total number of infections to 29,303.
The Health Ministry also announced 11 additional deaths on Sunday, raising the country’s Covid-19 death toll to 297.
Caretaker Health Minister Hamad Hassan told Lebanon’s Al-Jadeed TV Sunday that he’s calling for a two-week lockdown.
“People in most areas aren’t conforming with (social distancing) measures. Instead they are belittling the situation,” he said.
Hassan’s call for the lockdown is not binding; the measure needs to be decided by the caretaker government.
