Janakpurdham, April 13
Province 2 Chief Minister Lalbabu Raut has assured that Birgunj, a major city of the province, will start the coronavirus test service from Tuesday.
Raut’s statement comes one day after three coronavirus positive cases have confirmed in the city. Meanwhile, local stakeholders have accused Raut’s government of non-cooperation in establishing a coronavirus-dedicated hospital there.
But, Raut says another coronavirus test lab will be established in Rajbiraj of Saptari district also within this week. A few days ago, the provincial government had decided to install testing equipment in Janakpurdham, Rajbiraj, and Birgunj. The lab in Janakpurdham has already come into operation.
Meanwhile, in his greetings to the public on the occasion of New Year 2077 on Monday, Raut wished that the number of coronavirus positive cases would not increase above three now.
