BEIRUT, May 28 (Xinhua) -- Lebanon's COVID-19 infections increased on Thursday by seven cases to 1,168 while death toll remained unchanged at 26, the National News Agency reported.

Lebanon continues to conduct random PCR tests to make a clear assessment of the virus spread in the country.

Lebanon and China have supported each other in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

In February, Lebanese President Michel Aoun expressed solidarity with China in its battle against the coronavirus. In return, China has offered help to Lebanon's anti-coronavirus fight, including the donation of medical equipment to Beirut's airport, and Lebanon's Health Ministry.

On April 16, China also donated 3,000 testing kits and 200 manual thermometers to Lebanon. Enditem
