I came back on an MEA flight to Beirut yest. Foremost you can’t fly anymore without a COVID test which has to be done before you fly out by 72 hours- you present at the airport and the queue might be longer than expected cause of social distancing. 1/2

Masks are a must at Heathrow you throw away your own masks and you get a clean one there- the Ministry of Health lebanon emailed me a form before I flew out to fill in my details about where I was going to be and If my house is safe for isolation for 14 days- you fill this form

With a copy of the covid test attached. Before you board the MeA plane there is a doctor from MoH asking you to throw away your mask again so he can give you a new one- that would be my third mask! Then there is a guy from general security lebanon who asks you for your full

Name and address and where you will be staying which area. You give your details and your proceed. You are on the plane. An hour later the doctor comes with a form, the same one the MOH, emailed you and you filled out. You tell him you already completed that form he insists to do

It again. Then an hour later comes the general security guy, asking you to fill a form, same info different ministries. So you comply and complete the form. You land in Beirut and you get told to sit down and wait at airport exit- what for?? There is a team of what looked like

Students asking you for your name and details and phone number again! Who are they and what are they there for? No clue! Seems like an operation before you get to customs. You proceed and there is a guy fully clothed in spray clothes from “boecker” who sprays you like an insect

From top to bottom! Then proceed again and there is another guy from Boecker spraying your shoes ! If you are asthmatic you might just get an attack then and there! Then you go left and there is another team of students asking you the same shit info your name address and

Phone number! Who are they? What do they need it for for the fifth time, no idea! And when you question them they get angry that you are holding up a queue and they are tired and it’s late. Then you get to official customs! Welcome to lebanon where the state within a state

Is right on your face! No signs to who these people are and no right to question anything or anyone! @annahar
