BEIRUT (Sputnik) – Lebanon has so far confirmed 93 COVID-19 cases in the country and three deaths from coronavirus-related complications.

Lebanon’s Higher Defense Council announced on Sunday a state of emergency in the country amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

Before the council meeting, Lebanese President Michel Aoun has said that the situation required the most urgent safety measures.
