The average result of some days has been the same in both the countries. Of the 12,205 test reports made public on Wednesday, 1,559 tested positive. This is 12.77 percent. Earlier, the infection was found at 14.05 percent on Tuesday and 15.53 percent on Sunday.
According to a Health Ministry expert, Dr. Suresh Tiwari, if the test is found above 12 percent, the test should be expanded. This means that it seems to have spread far and wide in the community. Nepal has entered that stage.
Until last month, India's infection rate was almost double that of Nepal. Now the situation is exactly the opposite. Nepal's rate is not only double that of India, it is even more.
India, the southern neighbor, has become the second most infected country in the world. According to the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, India has so far 62,45,404 infected people.
Recently, the active infection rate in Nepal is also higher than in India. The active case in India is 15.4 percent. In Nepal, it has reached 26.8 percent. In India, 83 percent of those infected have recovered, while in Nepal, 72.5 percent have recovered.
In Nepal, around 1,500 new infections are added every day. At present, the number of active infected has reached 20,891. Out of which 10,804 are in home isolation. There are 10 thousand 87 people in institutional isolation. In the last 24 hours, 1,559 new infections have been added.
According to the Ministry of Health and Population, the infection is spreading from vegetable markets, shopping malls, government offices, banks and financial institutions.
The ministry has appealed to elderly people over 60, diabetics, high blood pressure, cancer, dialysis patients and other long-term patients not to leave their homes as the infection rate continues to rise.
Director of Epidemiology and Disease Control Division Dr. Vasudev Pandey says that corona infection and mortality rate in Nepal has not reached alarming levels. He says, ‘In some countries, including Italy, the dead seemed to be put in trucks. The situation in Nepal is not so bad. '
Public health expert Baburam Marasini says that the infection rate in Nepal is increasing due to the inability to increase the scope of PCR testing.
Former Chief Specialist of the Ministry of Health Dr. Sushil Nath Pyakurel thinks that the corona infection rate is increasing due to the failure of all three levels of government to maintain good governance.
