According to him, the power supply to Herat, which was cut off this morning as a result of the destruction of a base of Iranian imported electricity, has also exacerbated the problem.
However, Abdul Hakim Tamana stressed that there is currently no problem of oxygen in Herat, but the number of COVID-19 patients is becoming more serious.
He added that he was also talking to the Ministry of Public Health about activating a 100-bed hospital for COVID-19 patients.
Herat health officials are urging people to take the coronavirus seriously and to wear mask and to refrain from participating in rallies.
