Photos and videos of Lebanon’s once bustling airport, but now completely empty, surfaced online amid the coronavirus outbreak. Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport, often criticized for being too crowded to function properly, was shut down on Wednesday as part of the country’s precautionary measures to stop the spread of covid-19. “Beirut airport completely shut down in a scene unfamiliar to Lebanese people except during the wars,” Twitter user Darine Hachouch wrote in Arabic.
