Coronavirus: Pressure on NHS front line 'relentless' - Hancock - BBC News
Nearly 38,000 people are in hospital in the UK with coronavirus, the health secretary says.
People in Lebanon are living under one of the world's strictest lockdowns. Under the round-the-clock curfew, citizens who are not "essential workers" have been barred from leaving their homes since 14 January.

Laila, 12, is in Beirut trying to study while her family works from home.

"We all have our own work to do and when we have meetings we hear each other. It can be a real distraction and stop you from finishing your work on time," she says.

"Sometimes I can't study well because I get stressed with all the work they're giving us. It is definitely not the same studying online as it is in the physical world."

For hairdresser Walid Kanaan this year has been "extremely difficult psychologically and economically".

"I own my shop but still I cannot afford it. I pay the workers' salary so I am really broke," says the 45-year-old.

"It is hitting hard. You can't go out at all or do anything. My wife works in a bank and she is also collapsing. She doesn't know if she will still have her job or not.

"We don't trust the government that if they bring a vaccine it will be safe to take it. We can only pray for God to protect us."
