Lebanon registered a record 439 new coronavirus cases and six new fatalities that raise the death toll to 106 as the country's health care system grows overwhelmed.
Of the new cases, 395 were detected among the local population and 44 from incoming travelers.
UNRWA Sunday announced that four Palestinian refugees had died as a result of COVID-19 over the previous 24 hours.
A total of 6,364 PCR tests were also administered during the same period.
Lebanon's health care system was already starting to get overwhelmed with an upward trend in coronavirus cases being recorded in July. However, the number of new cases started increasing at an accelerated rate in August, after the Beirut Port blast last week.
