doctors.”
The French national arrived on March 2 on a flight from
Moscow and began to have a fever from March 7. He was tested positive for the

A test sample of an English person, who sat next to the
patient during the flight from Moscow and then went to Bukhmurun soum of Uvs

people who were around him still have not shown any symptoms.
The suspected people will be re-tested frequently in every
