Delayed PCR test reports risk coronavirus transmission in Sarlahi district

Those who were in contact with the suspects can easily transmit the virus to others while waiting for the test results to be released, health workers say.

A 55-year-old man from Malangwa Municipality Ward No. 8, the district headquarters of Sarlahi, took medicines for seasonal flu after suffering from high fever and common cold. But even after several days of taking medicines, he was not feeling well. So he went to the District Hospital in Sarlahi to get his swab tested for Covid-19.
