In a statement issued today, Spokesperson Bishwo Prakash Sharma has stated that additional precautions need to be implemented as COVID-19 infection in Nepal has entered the second stage of transmission.

“We appeal to the government to immediately carry out COVID-19 tests on family members, neighbors and friends of COVID-19 patients,” reads the statement.
