The extension is part of efforts to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the State Emergency Commission said in a statement.
As of Tuesday, Mongolia has confirmed 289 COVID-19 cases with no local transmissions or deaths.
All the confirmed cases in the Asian country were imported, mostly from Russia, according to the commission.
