Nepal’s first “post-pandemic Covid wave”

One possible explanation for a sudden rise in disease severity in patients could be ‘FluVid’.

Since the beginning of March this year, a total of 16 patients diagnosed with Covid-19 have been admitted or referred to Sukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital, Kathmandu, for further treatment. Seventy percent of them were male, 81 percent were aged 65 and above, critically ill, and almost all ended up in the intensive care unit. In fact, at present, people with Covid-like illnesses can be widely seen in the community, meaning Nepal has been experiencing its first “post-pandemic Covid wave”.
