BEIRUT: The Health Ministry Wednesday closed down three unlicensed nurseries in and around the southern port city of Sidon.
A ministry statement identified the kindergartens as Booboo and Funny Foo in Haret Saida as well as Good Morning in Majdalyoun, east of Sidon.
Last month, Health Minister Wael Abu Faour ordered the closure of a Mount Lebanon nursery following the death of an infant at the facility.
Clarinette et Zoe Nursery in Ajaltoun was shut down after four-month-old Elie Salloum died in an accident, according to a statement released by Abu Faour’s media office.
The decision to shut down the day care was also based on the fact that the nursery is unlicensed, does not meet health standards and lacks a sufficient number of qualified staff for the purpose of childcare.
Earlier in March, an infant died at a nursery in the Beirut suburb of Hay al-Sellom.
