Health authorities indicate that 517 people have been diagnosed positive for the coronavirus in the past 24 hours. The number of deaths remains stable with 2 deaths despite the current increase. However, this figure could increase 2 weeks after the resumption of the increase, believe the specialists who now fear that the new wave will be confirmed in Lebanon, in particular with the increase in the number of positive tests this last week.
This increase would also be consistent with the presence on Lebanese soil of the famous Delta variant or Indian variant, they note, which cannot be officially confirmed for lack of a large-scale diagnosis of the types of covid detected.
