Mongolia received medical supplies from China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Tuesday in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

The protective equipment included 100,000 masks, 1,000 protective suits and 200 boxes of testing kits.

As a result of the Mongolian government’s optimal measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19, the country has become one of the very few countries where no cases of the coronavirus from local transmission has been reported. In addition, there have been no reported cases of  Covid-19 being imported from China.

As of Tuesday, a total of 38 imported cases of Covid-19 have been reported in Mongolia. This number is likely to rise over the next few days as the next three evacuation flights bring Mongolians home from S.Korea and Germany.
