To the kind attention of the Lebanese Community in Nigeria Pursuant to yesterday’s circular regarding the procedures and measures to be taken by Lebanese citizens residing in Nigeria who are receiving family members coming from Lebanon or from other countries afflicted by the Corona epidemic (COVID-19), the Lebanese Embassy reiterates its call to its Lebanese community in Nigeria to share the responsibility of committing all members of the traveller’s family to home confinement and urges them to minimize their non-essential movements for a period of 14 days until it is confirmed that there is no case of Coronavirus infection amongst the family members. This is out of concern over your safety and the safety of your family and the health of the general public.
