The coronavirus pandemic has been around the world for a quite some time. 531 thousand people are infected in 201 countries. Eleven cases of coronavirus infection have been reported in Mongolia. These patients are in stable condition.
As Prime Minister I am focusing on two principles. First, we will take all possible measures to protect the lives of Mongolian citizens. Human life and health must come first. Second, we are taking measures to overcome the challenges that the country's economy is facing. Today, the coronavirus is under control in Mongolia.
The fact that we are able to control the spread of coronavirus shows that the government is working effectively. Everything is under control, and we must be more responsible and accountable for what we do. It is important to note that public awareness and accountability have a significant impact on preventing the spread of the virus.
