Lebanon now has more than 50,000 COVID-19 cases in total with more than 450 recorded deaths. The surge was first noted in August and the situation has continued to worsen since then, despite the country&#8217;s ability to curb the outbreak early throughout the year and even reach 0 new cases per day. <br \/>  <br \/>  With or without government measures, please take it upon yourselves to be responsible. Many hospitals in Lebanon are nearing their ICU bed capacity and the Minister of Health has even compared the scenario to that of Italy and Spain. <b>It is your duty to keep yourself and your loved
