Lebanon recorded 686 new cases of coronavirus on Saturday and ten fatalities, the Health Ministry said.
The new cases raised the total number of COVID-19 cases in Lebanon to 23,669 since the first virus case was detected on February 21.
The health ministry said ten individuals have died of the virus Saturday.
Lebanon saw a spike in virus cases since the mega colossal blast at Beirut port upended a planned lockdown.
The pandemic has compounded the woes of a crisis-hit country reeling from a massive explosion that killed more than 130 people, wounded at least 5,000 and left an estimated 300,000 homeless.
