The committee also exempted restaurants' customers and employees from being vaccinated or possessing negative PCR tests, but restaurants must be allowed to conduct necessary tests in the event of suspicious cases, Abiad said.
The health minister added that travelers do not have to conduct the PCR test at the Beirut airport, but they should do the test before arrival unless they were fully vaccinated with three COVID-19 vaccine shots.
