BEIRUT, March 31 (Xinhua) -- Lebanon's number of COVID-19 infections increased on Tuesday by 17 to 463, with the death toll rising to 12, the National News Agency (NNA) reported.
A total of 35 people have recovered from the disease in Lebanon, NNA said.
Lebanese hospitals previously said the number of coronavirus patients has been growing slowly for a lack of enough PCR tests for all suspected cases.
The Lebanese government has implemented general mobilization since March 15 to curb the spread of the virus, and shut down malls, shops, gyms, bars and pubs.
