...snipAfghanistan has 28,833 confirmed coronavirus cases, and 581 deaths. But international aid organisations monitoring the pandemic’s spread in the country say the numbers are much higher because of a lack of access and testing capabilities.
Following the attack on the Kabul maternity hospital, Doctors Without Borders decided last week to end its operations in Kabul.
The international charity, also known by its French acronym MSF, said it would keep its other programs in Afghanistan running, but did not go into details.
KABUL, July 11 (Xinhua) -- Afghanistan on Saturday reported 172 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases, taking the country's total to 34,366, the country's Ministry of Public Health said.
Within the past 24 hours, 395 tests were conducted, and 172 were positive COVID-19 cases in seven provinces of Afghanistan's 34 provinces, the ministry said in a statement.
Up to 994 deaths have been recorded since the outbreak of the pandemic in the country in February, an increase of 23 within the past 24 hours.
Afghanistan has recorded 85 new Coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours, the lowest number in daily cases in the last two months.
In a daily COVID-19 update released on Sunday, the Ministry of Public Health said the cases were reported in Kabul (14), Herat (18), Kandahar (5), Bamyan (20), Nangarhar (4), Takhar (10), Kunduz (3), Badakhshan (8), Wardak (1), Laghman (1), and Kunar (1).
