No one was reported to have died of COVID-19 in Nepal on Thursday, 179 days after the country had last reported zero COVID-19-related deaths on August 3, officials said
No one was reported to have died of COVID-19 in Nepal on Thursday, 179 days after the country had last reported zero COVID-19-related deaths on August 3, officials said.
Although the number of deaths due to infection came down to zero, it doesn’t mean that no one will die due to the disease from now on as more than 200 people are still testing positive every day.
“We should not forget that a lot of people are still in intensive care units and on ventilator support,” Dr Baburam Marasini, former director at the Epidemiology and Disease Control Division, told the Post. “Despite the decline in testing, over 200 people are testing positive every day. This shows that the risk of infection hasn’t declined.”
