The US embassy in Kabul has suffered a major Covid-19 outbreak that has infected 114 people and killed one.

The outbreak in the Afghanistan capital has confined staff to their quarters and disrupted operations, according to CNBC.

“Military hospital ICU resources are at full capacity, forcing our health units to create temporary, on-compound Covid-19 wards to care for oxygen-dependent patients. 95 per cent of our cases are individuals who are unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated,” the embassy wrote in a memo, according to CNBC.
