Baluwatar keeps mum over Oli's status even after his close aides tested positive for Covid-19

No information has been shared if those who have contracted the virus had been in close contact with Oli and whether he's quarantined himself. Instead, he met Dahal on Sunday.

Baluwatar has maintained an uncanny silence even as close to 150 people, including Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s five advisers, have tested positive for Covid-19 there. Nor has his Nepal Communist Party come up with any official statement.
