The Republic of Lebanon has said 25 of its citizens evacuated from Kano State, Nigeria on Tuesday, May 5, tested positive for coronavirus disease.
This was contained in a statement by the country’s Ministry of Public Health published on its website on Wednesday.
Just like most governments across the world, the Republic of Lebanon has been repatriating its citizens since the peak of the pandemic in April, assigning the task to Middle East Airlines.
According to a flight schedule prepared by MEA between April 28 and May 8, three repatriation flights have been made from Nigeria to Lebanon.
The government said the infected persons would be transferred to the hospital for treatment and quarantined forthwith.
