As the number of corona infections has decreased in the Kathmandu Valley, the main government hospital treating corona patients in the capital has started running out of beds. Oxygen beds and ICUs at Shukraraj Tropical and Communicable Diseases Hospital, National Trauma Center and TRI Teaching Hospital in Teku have also been vacated. According to Dr. Ram Bikram Adhikari, spokesperson of TRIV Teaching Hospital, no patient has been returned to the emergency room of the hospital for the past three days and has not been waiting for admission.

Stating that five of the 52 ICU beds in the teaching hospital are empty, he said that there are enough beds and oxygen for the patients of Kovid. He said the 30-foot-long oxygen tank had recently been frozen and would almost meet the demand for oxygen. Similarly, Dr. Anup Banstola, a doctor at Shukraraj Tropical and Communicable Diseases Hospital, said that some patients were on ventilators and some critically ill patients were still in the hospital.

The number of infected people in the Kathmandu Valley has increased to 1,093.

Along with this, the latest statistics show that the number of infected people is decreasing and the number of those recovering is increasing. In the one month since the ban was imposed in the Kathmandu Valley, the epidemic has been gradually declining. The injunction imposed about a month ago is now in force till June 4.

An injunction has been imposed to break the chain of the epidemic. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. However, with the positive signals, discussions are underway among the stakeholders to ease the ban. Chief District Officers have concluded that the damage in the Kathmandu Valley has been stopped due to timely ban. Until a year ago, the rate of infection in the Valley was an average of 3,000 more daily. Now that number is around two thousand. Chief District Officer of Kathmandu, Kali Prasad Parajuli, says that the ban has been tightened till December 4 keeping in mind the health of the citizens.

However, he said that the detainees have agreed to ease the ban by tightening the health standards. The food and grocery store is preparing to open in the morning after June 4. The administration has decided to close all the shops except the vegetable shops till December 4. Apart from this, banks and financial institutions are also preparing to open a little more than now.

Experts also suggest that locksmiths could be gradually eased as infection rates fall. Virologist and former Director of Epidemiology and Disease Control Division, Dr. Vasudev Pandey said that the ban could be gradually eased by implementing other necessary steps as the infection rate was gradually declining. According to Pandey, the ban would go a long way in breaking the chain of infection, but there were other ways to do so.
