Four patients died during past 24 hours with the percentage of one patient in Kabul, Kandahar, Balkh and Jawzjan provinces, Mr. Mayar added.
“One medical doctor died in Jawzjan who ranks the fourth death cases of the health employees,” he added. Of 1026 covid19 patients, 135 of them have been recovered and 33 others died.
