Hassan Confirms Arrival of Delta Variant in Lebanon

W460

Caretaker Health Minister Hamad Hassan on Friday confirmed the presence in the country of three cases of the highly-contagious Delta variant of coronavirus.

Hassan also advised citizens and residents above 30 who opted not to take the AstraZeneca jab to take any available vaccine.

Vaccination is “the only way for protection, in addition to the precautionary measures,” the minister stressed.

The minister voiced his remarks during a vaccination campaign in the Dhour al-Shweir area alongside MP Elias Bou Saab.

مصادر مطلعة على آلية عمل وزارة الصحة كشفت لـ"نداء الوطن"، عن تواطؤ الوزارة مع بعض الأحزاب والشخصيات العامة التي دخلت على خطّ الاستثمار في اللقاح، في إطار الزبائنية السياسية الشائعة في بلدنا الذي يشهد أسوأ انهيار اقتصادي في تاريخه على الإطلاق.

وهي اليوم تتعمّد تبطيء عملية التلقيح من خلال عدم تنظيم ماراتونات "فايزر" في المدى المنظور، بعدما أعطت الوزارة عدداً من السياسيين حصصاً من اللقاح من مخزونها الخاص عن طريق جمعيات أو مؤسسات خاصة، ومن بين هؤلاء نواب وسياسيون...

Close the border. Quarantine all new arrivals for 17 days. Test them on day 1 and day 7 and day 14 and day 16. Test everyone in the country for free.
