Mongolia has recorded 634 new cases of COVID-19 over the past 24 hours, the lower number since March 25, bringing the national tally to 378,833. Most of the latest confirmed cases were detected in the national capital Ulaanbaatar.

Meanwhile, the country’s COVID-19 death toll rose to 1969 after 11 more patients aged over 40 died in the past day.

In the recent weeks, the number of new infections has dropped significantly, and health authorities attributed it to the results of vaccination and the end of the spread of the Delta variant.

Currently, there are some 15,000 active COVID-19 cases across the country.

So far, around 2.24 million people, or 66 percent of the country’s population, have received two COVID-19 vaccine doses, among whom 565,636 people aged over 18 have got another booster dose.
