BEIRUT, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Lebanon registered on Wednesday the highest daily increase in deaths from COVID-19 by 20 to 499, while the total number of infections went up by 1,377 to 57,246, the Health Ministry reported.
Lebanon's daily increase in COVID-19 cases created concerns among Lebanese authorities who have been adopting tough lockdown measures in certain villages amid a lack of hospitals' beds capable of receiving infected patients.
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 including China which offered on Sept. 9 around 10,000 N95 masks, 100,000 medical masks, 100,000 gloves and 6,000 PCR rapid tests. Enditem
