The Resolute Support (RS) mission in Afghanistan has rejected the reports that its members have been tested positive for coronavirus.
“Reports that any member of Resolute Support has tested positive for COVID-19 are inaccurate,” RS said.
“The health and welfare of the force is paramount, we continue to implement all precautionary measures, as appropriate,” it added.
This comes as Afghanistan Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) said on Sunday that the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in the country had jumped to 16.
