Description: Lebanon will reimpose a four-day lockdown starting on Wednesday following an uptick in cases. The spate of fresh infections is linked in part to repatriation flights to return its citizens from abroad. FRANCE 24 correspondent Leila Molana-Allen says the country had been one of 15 to have successfully flattened the curve, in recent weeks recording less than five new cases every day.
