The Afghan Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) said on Thursday that they have recorded 2,313 new cases of COVID-19 in the past 24 hours across the country.
The Health Ministry said that 6,092 samples were tested in the mentioned time while the death toll was at 101.
Afghanistan has so far recorded 98,844 positive cases and 3,943 deaths from COVID-19.
With the increase of positive cases, demands for oxygen for COVID-19 patients has also increased.
This comes as the number of COVID-19 cases in Afghanistan has risen dramatically over the past few weeks, with hospitals struggling to deal with the rising number of cases in mostly all provinces across the country.
