From the very beginning, experts have been warning the possibility of Kathmandu Valley would likely to turn major hotspot. What they said come true. This is the negligence of central and provincial government of the last two months allowing everything not taking the proper care.

Given the experiences of other countries, the situation can still contain within a week. By mobilizing effective tracing team at community level, strictly controlling the valley’s border and raising awareness, the number can still manage. What is required is strong determination from the people in the leadership.
