How can the Taiwanese and South Korean models of battling against coronavirus in Nepal be a breakthrough? 

Dr Vijay Kumar Sah

Taiwan and South Korea tookan exemplary action and triumphed over the ongoing pandemic despite beingat high risk. South Korea has a population of 51.47 million and that of Taiwanis 23.78 million. Similarly, Nepal has around 30 million population, which isnot a big number compared to South Korea. There is no doubt that Nepal’s healthsystem and resources are not enough to battle against the pandemic but if it caneven do 50% of what Taiwan and South Korea did, the curve will certainly be flattened and the panic in the general public will be turned into confidence tofight back. So, how did these countries contain the virus?
