Covid -19 in Nepal

The Himalayan Times reports that on Sunday, Nepal’s coronavirus case count reached 261,859 with 421 newly confirmed cases and 1885 deaths. However, it must be remembered that these figures reveal only the results of those tested. Local people report that since the lockdown ended people are ignoring the advice to wear masks and socially distance and that there are many unable to go to hospitals, are sick at home and deaths have risen noticeably.
