Two of a family in Kathmandu test positive for coronavirus; Nepal’s tally hits 16

Kathmandu, April 14

Nepal’s health officials have reported two more coronavirus positive cases in the country’s capital on Tuesday. With this, the number of positive cases in the country has reached 16.

Earlier on Monday, three persons of the family residing at Sun City Apartments in Kageshwari Manohara of the capital had tested positive in the rapid diagnostic tests (RDT). Because the RDT results are not considered valid globally, the authorities had collected their swab samples for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests.

While the two of them tested positive in the PCR tests also.

The family of a woman, her son, and daughter-in-law had come to Kathmandu from the United Kingdom around one month ago. Of them, the 81-year-old woman and her 58-year-old son tested positive for the virus.

They are being treated at Patan Hospital of Kathmandu.

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].
