Also, as many as seven new cases of infection were reported in the country, bringing the nationwide case count to 55,714.
The new infection cases were registered in Kabul, Helmand, Nangarhar and Khost provinces.

According to health ministry’s data, at least 4,634 people have been vaccinated since the start of campaign.
