Lebanon has recorded more than 2,000 infections and 36 deaths from the coronavirus since February.

“The number will remain high this week,” Health Minister Hamad Hassan said. “To reassure people, the source is known,” he added in comments to broadcaster LBC. Most of the new cases were at what he described as “a big cleaning company”, an apparent reference to waste management firm RAMCO, which collects garbage across Lebanon.“We are separating those who are infected from those who aren’t ... we are waiting for more results,” RAMCO manager Walid BouSaad told Reuters.

Hassan said 800 workers from the company in question needed testing, along with another 1,000 workers from two other companies with whom they were connected. (This story corrects number of new cases to 166, in headline and paragraph 2, including cases from abroad)
