Zero Covid-19 deaths in the last 24 hours

It was wonderful to know that nobody died of Covid 19 in the last 24 hours in Nepal since August 2020. 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. Nepal reported its first Covid-19 death on May 16 last year. The disease has so far claimed 2,020 people throughout the country.

Experts say that the major reason for the decline in the number of people testing positive for the virus is that the government has stopped providing free tests to asymptomatic people and the number of polymerase chain reaction tests conducted each day has declined significantly.

Nepal launched out its Covid-19 vaccination drive on Wednesday, a little over a year after the country confirmed its first coronavirus case on January 24, 2020. At present, there are 3,203 active cases throughout the country.
