 Libya has received the first batch of China's Sino-Farm COVID-19 vaccines as the country's stepped-up efforts to vaccinate as many people as possible. Health Minister Alizah Nati announced this at a joint news conference held at the Metiga International Airport, Tripoli on Tuesday. The Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Abedah said another shipment of the vaccine is expected to arrive today. He called on people to get vaccinated as soon as possible as this was the only way to stop the virus. Zanati said that the infection rate in Libya has dropped from 68% to 24% thanks to the recently imposed protective measures against the virus, including banning of public gatherings and public transportation and imposing a curfew.
