KATHMANDU, July 3: The COVID-19 is on an upward trend in Nepal following a rise in India, said the Ministry of Health and Population. The infection rate has now hit six percent while it had reached the lowest 0.5 percent only a few weeks ago, said the Ministry's Joint Secretary Dr Samir Kumar Adhikari. 

"Nepal did not find the infection rate rising at the same rate as India. But infection is rampant in the country," he warned. 

Director of the Epidemiology and Infectious Disease Control Division, Dr Chuman Lal Das said Nepal's increasing infection rate followed increasing cases in India. People entering Nepal from India are reported to have contracted the infection in most cases, he said. "Infection rate has increased. We should strictly follow the health protocol." 

“Gene sequencing is underway at the National Public Health Laboratory to verify whether or not the present variant is a new form of omicron (BA4 or BA5U),” he said. "The report will come in a day or two.”
