Health desks set up at Siraha border points

LAHAN: With the start of the second wave of Coronavirus infection in neighbouring country India, high alertness has been adopted at Nepal-India bordering areas in Siraha district.

According to the District Health Office, Siraha, a health desk has been established at Madar, Thadi, Bariyarpatti, Aurahi and Nabarajpur border points in Siraha district, citing coronavirus infection could be spread in the district as the number of COVID-19 cases has increased all of sudden in India.
