BEIRUT, June 3 (Xinhua) -- Lebanon's number of COVID-19 infections increased on Wednesday by 14 cases to 1,256, while the death toll remained at 27, the National News Agency reported.

Lebanon has reduced general mobilization measures for businesses to reopen given the dire economic circumstances and the companies' need to generate revenues and cover their expenses.

Fadi al-Hassan, president of Beirut airport, said the airport will not function normally until the end of June.

The government is preparing for airport procedures including social distancing and testing for COVID-19 upon arrival, he added. Enditem
