Iran Press/ Asia: The five new cases include two in Herat, two in Logar and one in Badghis province.
263 new suspected cases were tested, out of which 21 were positive, according to the Health Ministry of Afghanistan.
The Afghan government has allocated $25 million for the Ministry of Public Health to respond to the Coronavirus outbreak.
In spite of many concerns about political instability in Afghanistan, Afghans have now become concerned over the outbreak of coronavirus in the country.
The first coronavirus infection case was confirmed in the border province of Herat in western Afghanistan on February 24; and since then, the government has adopted measures to contain further spread of the virus such as deploying medical teams at the country's airports as well as in border areas.
After that, the prices of the hygienic stuff have sharply increased in Afghanistan and sadly, the corona-virus has changed to a nightmare for the already poor people of that country.
Following the outbreak of the Coronavirus in Afghanistan, officials declared that all schools and universities in the country have been closed.
All Nowruz ceremonies in Afghanistan have also been canceled this year, and the health officials urged his people to refrain from attending social or public events.
