“On this WorldHeathDay we salute all Lebanese and international health workers that are in the frontlines of battle against coronavirus in Lebanon and in the world, paying immense sacrifices,” said Kubis in a tweet.

“They are the best that humanity has,” he added.

Lebanon has been imposing a lockdown for weeks to stem the spread of coronavirus outbreak.
