As Covid-19 third wave approaches its peak, govt itself is in isolation in Nepal

After a few politicians from the ruling parties contracted Covid-19 following a meeting of the coalition on January 6, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba went into isolation. Despite testing negative for the coronavirus, Deuba has not been as active as he should be. Being the prime minister of the country, he should have been taking stock of how the country is dealing with the third wave of Covid-19. But instead, Deuba has been busy with party politics, puzzling everyone.

Deuba’s attitude seems to have rubbed off on his government too as it seems to have isolated itself from the ongoing pandemic as it has done next to nothing to help Nepalis deal with the third wave and the spread of the Omicron variant.
