Bajhang residents refuse Covid-19 tests to avoid missing out planting season

As many as 19 people have died of Covid-19 in Bajhang, but officials suspect actual deaths could be higher.

Last week, a 72-year-old man from Jalim in Bittahdchir Rural Municipality, Bajhang was bedridden due to fever and cough. Health workers from Deulek Primary Health Centre were called in for his treatment.
