Nepal COVID-19: Cluster Update #13 | 26 June 2020
Abstract:
The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Nepal has passed 10,000 with 26 deaths. Cases are increasing, with over 5,735 new cases identified in the past 15 days. Positive cases have been largely asymptomatic, with less than 1% of COVID-19 patients across all age groups displaying symptoms at the time of diagnosis. The Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) has intensified contact tracing and case investigation for all new cases. The daily PCR testing rate has increased with an average of 5,000 tests a day. The Government of Nepal (GoN) continues to repatriate Nepalis from abroad. Between 3-22 June, a total of 6,486 people have been repatriated from different countries. Similarly, arrivals of Nepali migrants from India continues through the 20 dedicated border crossings, though the volume of returnees is gradually declining. As of 23 June, 86,495 people are staying in quarantine centres, down more than 50% over the past two weeks. #COVID19 #Sitrep #UNRCO #Sitrep2020
