On Tuesday, officials warned that given the spread of the corona virus in the country, if the people do not take corona seriously and ignore health recommendations, Afghanistan will also suffer the same fate as India.
Acting Minister of Public Health Waheed Majrooh said during the nationwide campaign that Afghanistan has entered the third wave of the pandemic, which is more threatening than the first and second.
According to him, if people do not follow health recommendations, do not pay attention to social distancing and do not wear masks, there is a fear that Afghanistan will experience difficult days like India. Majrooh urged people to go to health centers for vaccination.
