Wahidullah Mayar, spokesman of the ministry, said in a statement that 11 new cases were reported in western Herat, three in neighboring Farah and one in eastern Ghazni province.
The latest cases have brought the number of patients affected by the highly infectious disease to 110, including four U.S. and NATO-led coalition soldiers and two foreign diplomats in Kabul, according to Mayar.
The ministry also confirmed three deaths. Three infected people were discharged from the hospitals after treatment.
