On the other hand, Bashir Samim, the head of Badakhshan provincial council, said that he was concerned about the shared borders with China and Tajikistan, and Tajikistan’s transit route with China.
He also said that the healthcare equipments to diagnose the coronavirus were too basic in Badakhshan, and called on the Ministry of Public Health to meet the problem as soon as possible.
This comes as the local officials said that some of the joint markets with Tajikistan were closed without any specific reasons, but commuting between the borders was open.
