COVID-19: 87 New Cases Reported From 523 Samples

The MoPH reported five deaths and 146 recoveries, pushing those figures to 1,497 dead and 33,760 recovered from COVID-19.
The World Health Organization-backed survey revealed that around 31.5% of Afghanistan’s population contracted the virus since the country imported its first cases from neighboring Iran.
Government officials say the reason behind conducting the new survey was to prepare for a possible second coronavirus wave. With the help of the new data, authorities will be better equipped to deal with the situation, they say.
