French Ambassador, Bruno Foucher, called on the French community in Lebanon on Friday to "respect the measures taken by the Lebanese government to combat the outbreak of coronavirus, as it constitutes the only deterrent against the rapid spread of the virus, which may exceed the capabilities of the Lebanese health services."
"The French community in Lebanon should be exemplary, and we French and Lebanese must stand side by side to [achieve] victory. From this standpoint, France was the first country to send to Lebanon medical equipment to combat coronavirus, and we will continue to stand with our Lebanese friends in the spirit of friendship that binds our two countries," he pledged.
Foucher also called on French nationals to restrict their international travel as much as possible.
