“I announce the first positive coronavirus in Herat.”

Afghanistan’s Health Minister Ferozuddin Feroz gestures as he speaks during a press conference in Kabul on February 24, 2020. – Afghanistan has detected its first novel coronavirus case, the country’s health minister said on February 24, involving a patient who had recently travelled to Iran, where 12 people have died from the outbreak.

“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.

But hundreds of thousands of Afghans have returned home in recent years as US sanctions have battered the Iranian economy.
