Yesterday, the Lebanese Parliament began a three-day legislative session, amid tight precautionary measures, fearing the new Corona virus, which necessitated moving the meeting to a conference hall in Beirut, with MPs observing social divergence and protection measures.
The session coincides with car demonstrations called by the demonstrators against the political class, to confirm their continued mobility, and to protest the absence of urgent living conditions on the agenda, despite the general mobilization that has lasted for more than a month.
Lebanon has officially registered 677 cases of the epidemic, including 21 deaths. And the spread of the virus forced Parliament to transfer its sessions to the UNESCO Palace, in a hall that can accommodate nearly 1,000 people, achieving social divergence.
On the other hand, the Federal Ministry of Health in Sudan announced yesterday that it had registered 15 new cases of the emerging coronavirus, bringing the total cases of the virus in the country to 107 cases.
