M0NGOLIA BANS S. KOREAN PLANES TILL MARCH 2

Ulaanbaatar, Feb. 24: Mongolia will ban flights to and from South Korea starting Tuesday until March 2 due to the outbreak of the new covid-19, weeks after closing its border with China over the epidemic. The decision by the National Emergency Commission was announced by Enkhamgalan Byambatseren, a member of parliament, who told Mongolians “it will be wiser to stay in (South) Korea where the healthcare system is much better than Mongolia”. Mongolia has not reported any cases of the novel covid-19 but is nervous about contagion.
