The outbreak, nonetheless, has rapidly accelerated outside China and was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a global pandemic on Ma( 2). Many authors have tried to predict the incidence of COVID-19 in China ( 1).
This study could be an evidence-based call to continue with the lockdown measures, based on real time incidence data. The findings show that the nationwide lockdown was effective in reducing cases and has been successful in, so far, containing the virus. We analyze COVID-19 cases in Lebanon before and after lockdown measures have been implemented. This is explored using real time incidence data in Lebanon. The aim of this study is to show that country lockdown has a critical and significant impact on the pandemic. In the absence of a COVID-19 vaccine, we assess the potential role of containment measures to suppress the virus transmission, thereby slowing down the growth rate of cases and rapidly reducing case incidence. 2Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, Beirut Arab University, Beirut, LebanonĪs the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic progresses, countries around the world are increasingly implementing a range of responses that are intended to help prevent the transmission of this disease.1Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences, Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences, American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon.
