The main opposition Nepali Congress (NC) has demanded the government to widen the scope of the corona virus test after Nepal reported a first locally reported case on Saturday.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Spokesperson Bishwo Prakash Sharma has stated that additional precautions need to be implemented as COVID-19 infection in Nepal has entered the second stage of transmission.
“We appeal to the government to immediately carry out COVID-19 tests on family members, neighbors and friends of COVID-19 patients,” reads the statement.
