21 patients have died of the virus and 609 others recovered during this period, the health ministry said.
The total tally of the deaths has now stood by 639 and the recuperative to 9,869 since the detection of the first infection in Herat province around three months ago.

Similarly, six cases were recorded in Badakhshan, four in Daykundi, three in Logar, three in Pajshir and two each in Parwan and Laghman provinces.
Overall, there has been a slight reduction in the cases of coronavirus, but the health ministry warned of a rebound in infections if social distancing is not observed.
