FLIGHTS SUSPENDED TO AND FROM IRKUTSK AND ULAN-UDE UNTIL MARCH 11

On March 1, the State Emergency Commission held a meeting to discuss precautions against the novel coronavirus.

At the meeting, it was decided to lift the suspension of traffic movements between Ulaanbaatar and 21 aimags on March 3 at 6 a.m. and deploy over 130 more officials of emergency, specialized inspection, and health care services including medical teams of the National Center for Communicable Diseases at seven entrance and exit points of Ulaanbaatar.

As it is estimated that more than 40 thousand citizens by around 14 thousand vehicles will come back to the capital city after the suspension is lifted, the Commission plans to set up local first aid posts every 50 km along state highways to prevent possible accidents.
