Lebanon has been through various challenges since the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. The outburst of Covid-19 caused the whole country to go into lockdown, stalling various businesses. Moreover, on August 4, 2020, Lebanon witnessed one of the worst explosions in history, which destroyed the Port of Beirut, and half of the capital.
