Lebanon COVID-19 Committee Recommends Ban on Travelers from India, Brazil

Lebanese authorities have recommended a ban on travelers arriving from India and Brazil unless they had been out of the two countries for more than two weeks.

The national committee concerned with measures to curb the pandemic didn't say on Wednesday how long the ban would be against India and Brazil, which are grappling with a major surge in infections and deaths from the coronavirus.

In recent weeks, Lebanese authorities have successfully brought down infections and death rates following restrictions that included a lockdown.

The country of 6 million recorded over 52,000 confirmed infections, including more than 7,000 confirmed deaths.
