BEIRUT, July 5 (Xinhua) -- Lebanon's number of COVID-19 infections increased on Sunday by 18 cases to 1,873 while the death toll rose by one to 36, the National News Agency reported.
Lebanon has reopened its airport at the beginning of July in hope of receiving expatriates and tourists and boosting its collapsing economy.
The Civil Aviation Authority announced on Sunday that it has taken multiple precautions to prevent the spread of the virus at the airport.
All passengers and employees at the airport are forced to wear masks. Otherwise, they will pay a penalty.
Other measures included spraying disinfectants across the airports and placing signs on the floors to guarantee social distancing.
Lebanon has been fighting against COVID-19 since Feb. 21.
The country has received several donations from different countries for the fight against COVID-19.
The latest foreign support received by Lebanon for the fight against the pandemic was from China last month which offered 17,500 masks, 1,500 protective suits, 1,320 goggles and 1,000 shoes covers to Lebanese public hospitals. Enditem
