Afghanistan Health Minister Ferozuddin Feroz speaks with media in Kabul, Afghanistan.

“I announce the first positive coronavirus in Herat,” health minister Firozuddin Feroz told a press conference, calling on citizens to avoid travel to the western province which borders Iran. Iran on Monday reported four more deaths, bringing the toll from the Covid-19 virus to 12 and the overall number of infections to 47, the semi-official news agency ISNA said, quoting a parliament spokesman.
