Battulga is the first head of state to visit China since the country began implementing special measure to curb the novel virus outbreak in January.

The President arrived in Beijing with Foreign Minister Tsogtbaatar Damdin and other senior government officials on February 26, and held a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Li Keqiang.

Immediately upon their arrival in Mongolia, the President and accompanying delegates have been taken to 14-day isolation as a precautionary measure. https://t.co/wlN2ojHMsr via @montsame_en
