On 15 March, Lebanon’s Prime Minister announced a medical state of emergency over the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, shutting down almost all public and private institutions. The pandemic hits Lebanon at a time where the country is already facing an unprecedented economic crisis, impairing the capacities of already vulnerable Lebanese and refugees to subsist and heightening the risks of social instability.
