Government may reimpose lockdown if coronavirus infections continue to spike

The government’s failure to expand the test range and increase in public mobility post lockdown have raised the infection risk, Health Ministry officials say.

Even as the risk of the spread of coronavirus grows across the country and lockdown has been reimposed in Biratnagar and Inaruwa in Province 1 due to resurgence of infections, the number of tests has not gone up since the lifting of the countrywide lockdown last week.
