Covid-19 Update
- 1 new case, 741 cases, 206 recoveries, 25 deaths
- Public lockdown extended until May 24th.
- CORONAVIRUS REGARDED AS "FORCE MAJEURE" IN A BID TO REDUCE PRISON OVERCROWDING. Following prior circulars aimed at reducing overcrowding in prisons, Judge Dany Zeeni issued a judicial decision on Tuesday regarding COVID-19 as a "force majeure” – or a superior force — due to its risk of fatality. This permits the judge, based on an assessment, to take the necessary preventative measures and free prisoners as per Article 108 of the Criminal Code, even in circumstances whereby the deadlines and procedures of said article are incomplete.
