"The only security we have is our ability to adapt."
A health official of the ministry of health and population of Nepal said that two more coronavirus cases were confrimed in the country on Monday, increasing the total number of coronavirus infected patients in the country to 14.
Spokesperson at the ministry, Bikas Devkota, said that "a 65-year-old woman, who was in quarantine at Lamki Chuha Municipality in far-western Kailali district and a 19-year old boy who was in a quarantine centre at southeastern Rautahat district, have been tested positive".
The patients were diagnosed with the virus after tests were performed on their specimen samples at the National Public Health Laboratory in Kathmandu.
The official said that government officials have began an investigaiton into the 65 years old case, and contact tracing started for the patient after she was diagnosed with the virus, the official said that "the infected 19-year old boy has also been taken to the hospital from the quarantine centre".
There is a clear discrepancy in the reports being published by the media. It appears that the two people identified here are from local transmission.
"The only security we have is our ability to adapt."

GAIGHAT: A four-member team deployed from Nepali Army collected throat swab specimen from 152 persons, including 18 NA officers, in the second phase of COVID-19 tests being conducted in Triyuga Municipality-3 of Udayapur district.
The team of medics under the command of Major Dr Prachi Rayamajhi from Shree Birendra Hospital (SBH) in Chhauni reached Bhulke on a helicopter to collect the samples on Sunday.
The samples were sent to Sukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital, Teku, for COVID-19 test. The samples were delivered to Kathmandu by an ambulance on Sunday night.
NA sprang into action after the local level appealed to the federal government to dispatch a team of specialists to the area which was sealed after over a dozen people currently residing in the area tested positive for the infection...
Though surrounded by two big giants and emerging economies of the world, China in the North and by India in the rest, Nepal is highly incapable to cope with the pandemic situation at present and in the future. Nepal also, is one of the Least Developed Countries(LDC) out of four countries of the region. After having 48 coronavirus cases as on the morning 24 April 2020, people’s fear of being susceptible to the pandemic and its looming devastation in Nepal is gradually increasing. The poor status of doctor-patient ratio, 1724:1, is below the prescribed limit of 1000:1 by the World Health Organisation (WHO) [1]. The availability of ventilators for the critical condition in the case of a mass outbreak is also dismal having 1:114000 people [2] and also 50 beds per 10,000 population [3].
