38 people quarantined in TU Teaching Hospital

Thirty-eight people including doctors, nurses and others of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, who came in close contact with a patient infected with Covid-19 have been quarantined.

Authorities at the hospital had sealed off the neuro ward three days ago after the six-year old ENT patient was suspected to have been infected with the virus. The NPHL had confirmed Covid-19 in the patient on Thursday morning.

According to the Hospital Authorities the infected patient was  admitted to the neuro ward despite that she was an ENT patient, as the ENT department of the hospital has been converted to Covid-19 treatment center, according to hospital administration.
