8 new cases of coronavirus bring Mongolia's tally to 382

AKIPRESS.COM - 8 new cases of coronavirus were confirmed in Mongolia over the past day, Director of the National Center of Communicable Diseases (NCCD) Dulmaa Nyamkhuu said.
Total number of officially registered cases in the country has reached 382.
61 patients are treated in National Center of Communicable Diseases.
"The situation is getting worse. There are risks in Khiagta and the border region with Russia. COVID-19 is detected in truck drivers crossing the northern border every day. This increases the risk. 24 close contacts of a Mongolian trucker were traced down and isolated. Soon the first results of the test will be available," said Nyamkhuu.
