KATHMANDU: Several of the coronavirus infected do not show symptoms of the virus.
Sneezing, fever, cough, short of breath and fatigue are the symptoms of the coronavirus.
Epidemiology and Communicable Disease Control Division Director Basudev Pandey says 95 percent of the infected here in the country are not found with the COVID-19 symptoms.
Globally, 80 percent COVID-19 infected persons are without coronavirus symptoms.
According to him, many of the patients were found infected in course of the coronavirus test but their condition is like that of normal people.
He stated that the infection may have emerged without showing its proper symptoms because of delayed test, emergence of mild virus in Nepal and higher resisting power of Nepali people.
He said that the coronavirus is detected among the people within 14 days. However, the suspects sometimes may not show the symptoms when the tests are done following 14 days.
Among the coronavirus infected, five percent, however, are the patients of high blood pressure, heart disease and asthma.
Similarly, Shukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital Director Dr Sagar Raj Bhandari said patients visiting the hospital of late are not detected with coronavirus symptoms.
Epidemiology Division Director Dr Pandey said the returnees coming from India and third countries could be saved from dengue and malaria if they are kept in well-facilitated quarantines.
