Health Minister Firas Al-Abyad said that “the situation in Lebanon is tragic,” noting that “the Ministry of Health needs to convene the Council of Ministers in order to run the affairs of the ministry and the citizens.”
In an interview on the “Al-Jadeed” channel, Al-Abyad called on the Lebanese to take the vaccine in light of the “Omicron” outbreak, and said: “The new mutant does not respect previous infections with Corona, and this calls for taking the vaccine instead of relying on community immunity because most of those who enter the hospital are without vaccine recipients.
