Kathmandu planned 10,000 antigen tests daily, did 7,306 in two months

The biggest metropolis in the country with over 1.6 million population has twice become Covid-19 hotspot—last year and this year.

The Kathmandu Metropolitan City in the first week of May had planned to conduct a total of 50,000 antigen tests in five days aiming to test 10,000 people per day. However, in more than two months until last week the City has been able to carry out just 7,306 antigen tests.
