With resolute action starting in February 2020, the government of Mongolia has been largely successful in containing the virus. However, eventually community spread was reported. Since November, the federal government and first responders have been battling the pandemic case by case as it emerges from different provinces. As of January 21, Mongolia has reported 1,584 cases, with two deaths – still very low compared to other countries worldwide.
Prime Minister Khurelsukh Ukhnaa has submitted his resignation and a proposal to dissolve his government after hundreds gathered outside the parliament building to demonstrate against the policies. Parliament, which is controlled by Khurelsukh’s Mongolian People’s Party, voted overwhelmingly to accept his resignation.
