No contact tracing in Province 2 due to lack of medical equipment

Unlike last year, the local federal units in Province 2 have not set up quarantine and isolation facilities, nor initiated contact tracing and mass testing, health workers say.

Jagarnathpur Rural Municipality, in coordination with the district administration office in Parsa, started Covid-19 testing in the rural municipality four days ago after scores of villagers were taken ill in the rural municipality in the span of 10 days.
