ULAN BATOR, May 3 (Xinhua) -- The number of people vaccinated against COVID-19 in Mongolia reached 1 million on Monday afternoon, according to the Mongolian government's press office.
Under the motto "For summer without COVID-19, let's get vaccinated," Mongolia launched a national vaccination campaign against COVID-19 in late February with an aim to cover at least 60 percent of its 3.3 million population.
As of Monday, Mongolia has confirmed 39,381 COVID-19 cases, with 128 related deaths.
The number of daily new COVID-19 cases in Mongolia has risen sharply since the beginning of April. The COVID-19 surge continues, and around 1,000 cases have been reported per day in the country, mostly in the capital Ulan Bator, which is home to over half of the country's total population.
The Asian country reported its first imported COVID-19 case in March 2020 and confirmed its first locally transmitted cases in November last year.
