Mongolia's death toll from the A/H1N1 flu virus had risen to six, its health authority said Wednesday.

So far, 690 people had been reported as infected with the virus in Ulan Bator and 169 people in 17 provinces, according to the Press and Information Service of the Ministry of Health.

The health authorities have taken a series of measures against the spread of the A/H1N1 virus since Oct. 12, when the first A/H1N1 case was registered in the country.

The government has earmarked 6.4 billion tugrik (4.5 million U.S. dollars) to buy vaccines and anti-viral medications as well as medical diagnostic equipment, and restricted cultural and sports activities.
