ISF Member Tests Positive for Coronavirus

An Internal Security Forces member who hails from the eastern border town of al-Qaa has tested positive for coronavirus, the town’s municipality said on Wednesday.

“ISF First Adjutant A.D., who hails from al-Qaa, has tested positive for coronavirus,” the municipality said in a statement.

“He has been admitted into the Rafik Hariri University Hospital in Beirut and he is in good health and his morale is high,” it added.

“He has not visited the town since more than three months and he rarely comes in contact with al-Qaa residents due to the location of his work and residence,” the municipality said, urging all people to show caution and not be negligent about their health.

Lebanon has so far confirmed 133 coronavirus cases among them four deaths.

The country has gone on a two-week lockdown and taken drastic measures to limit the spread of the virus.
