KABUL (Pajhwok): The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) on Wednesday urged people not to travel anywhere abroad to prevent the spread of coronavirus in the country.
The ministry in a statement urged all Afghans to refrain from traveling abroad to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in the country.
The Ministry of Public Health also warned passengers not to go to government laboratories for coronavirus test as the facilities lacked enough capacity and the test there was only available for suspected cases and within the country.
The MoPH in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) through the Afghan Embassy in Pakistan has been in touch with Pakistan to find solution to the problems of Afghan travelers to the country.
But the ministry added that the Pakistani government was concerned that more trips would lead to the spread of the coronavirus in both countries.
The second wave of corona is spreading rapidly in Afghanistan, Pakistan and a number of other countries, and Pakistan has made corona test mandatory for Afghan travelers.
