Libya closes schools over coronavirus fears

Updated Mar 14 2020 01:03 am

Libyaâ€™s rival governments on Friday both announced a two-week closure of schools and universities over fears of the novel coronavirus arriving in the country.

The education ministries of the Tripoli-based unity government and its eastern-based rival announced in separate statements that all the countryâ€™s schools, both public and private, will be closed from Sunday.

War-torn Libya is largely divided between forces backing the Government of National Accord and those of eastern-based military commander Khalifa Haftar, who backs a rival administration in the countryâ€™s east.

To date, no cases of COVID-19 have been reported by either administration, but experts fear an outbreak could be catastrophic due to the countryâ€™s degraded health system.

Haftarâ€™s forces have been battling since last April to seize the capital, and hundreds of schools were already closed since the start of the offensive due to the fighting.
