The Kathmandu Metropolitan City has been coordinating with the federal government in the fight against Covid-19 due to the high infection caseload in the city compared to other parts of Kathmandu Valley.

The city officials said the KMC has only been focusing on contact tracing work while the federal government has been handling the jobs of managing and treating the infected patients.

“The city office has only been mobilising teams for contact tracing comprising ward representatives and health workers. Management and treatment of Covid-19 patients are being done by the federal government,” said Ishwor Man Dangol, spokesperson for KMC.

Dangol and two dozen KMC officials are currently in home isolation after Mayor Bidya Sundar Shakya tested positive for the coronavirus infection.
