A Covid-19 patient undergoing treatment at the intensive care unit of the Covid-19 dedicated hospital in Butwal has run away.

The 55-year-old man had left his bed at around 6 am this morning, claiming he needed to go to the toilet, but he came outside the hospital and ran away, it has been learned.

He was in the ICU since Wednesday.

“Telephoning him, we found that he walked through the nearby forest and went to Pauwa Hotel in Tilottama,” the hospital’s spokesperson says. “We have already informed the family of this.”

It has been learned that he was also suffering from some mental illness and was on medication.

Last night, he had requested the hospital staff to discharge him saying he had already recovered.
