New Delhi (NVI): Nepal’s second coronavirus patient has been discharged today from the Shukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital, according to Nepal media.

The 19-year-old lady from Kathmandu has completely recovered now. The girl had returned to Nepal from France via Qatar on March 17 and she was diagnosed on March 23.

The confirmation of infection in her had led the government to impose a complete lockdown across the country, which is still in effect.

Meanwhile, two other people who travelled on the same aircraft from Doha to Kathmandu that day have also been infected and are undergoing treatment at Dhaulagiri Hospital, as per media report.

On Friday, Nepal saw the largest single-day spike in coronavirus cases, with 14 people testing positive.

Among 14 postive people, 12 were Indian nationals who were staying in a mosque in Udaypur district, while 2 were from Chitwan district, according to country’s Health Ministry.

So far, there have been 30 coronavirus positive cases in Nepal.

At least two including the lady discharged today are recovered.
