Wahidullah Mayar, the spokesman for the Ministry on Public Health told Ariana News that three of the suspected cases were tested positive of the virus.

He added the two of infections had recently returned from neighboring Iran - where the death toll for the novel coronavirus surpassed 120 people with a total of 4,747 infections - and the other had contracted with infected people.

It comes as the total cases of the coronavirus, officially known as COVID-19, jumped to four in Afghanistan, while dozens of possible inflected cases are under-diagnosis.
