Mongolia adds 2,351 new COVID-19 infections www.xinhuanet.com
Sept. 13 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia's COVID-19 tally rose to 257,770 on Monday, with 2,351 new local infections registered over the past 24 hours, according to the country's health ministry.
Meanwhile, 10 more COVID-19 patients, all over 40, died in the past day, increasing the total death toll to 1,046.
The number of active cases across the country has risen to 63,207, including 286 in very serious conditions, according to the ministry.
The country's current COVID-19 resurgence is due to the Delta wave and mass gatherings, health authorities said, urging the public to avoid mass events and wear facial masks in public places.
The Asian country launched its national vaccination campaign in late February, with the aim of vaccinating at least 60 percent of its population of around 3.4 million.
So far, over 69 percent of the country's population has received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccines, with 65 percent having taken both jabs. Enditem
