Health Ministry appeals to people aged over 60 years to stay at home



KATHMANDU: The government has stated that the coronavirus crisis in the country is getting worse.

Speaking at a regular televised COVID-19 Update on Friday afternoon, Spokesperson Dr. Jageshwor Gautam expressed his sadness saying that the people have not heeded the direction of the Ministry to abide by health protocols.

“There is an increase in crowds and protests in places including Maitighar,” he said, “It will invite a huge loss.”
