The health experts say that the infection rate is above 25 percent in the Valley. They suspect, if conducted PCR and Antigen testes at the mass level, the infection rate could be above 50 percent. They believe that the third wave of the pandemic has already hit Nepal and the Valley is affected very badly. It has been proved that the months-long nationwide lockdown was totally failed to curb the infection of the pandemic as the government has been totally failed to stop the movement of the people from one part to another part of the country and, more seriously, the government didn’t wish to control the cross border movement from India. Daily, hundreds of thousands of people are arriving from India without any medical check-up. There is no health desk to check the travelers. The main reason behind an alarming level of surge on the Covid-19 cases is the open border with India. The Nepal side has neglected this reason from which the pandemic is likely to go out of control in Nepal.
