Nepal COVID-19 Count Crosses 11,000-mark With 434 New Cases!

Even after almost six months of its emergence, the coronavirus pandemic has not yet ceased to disrupt the global economies.

All the measures such as social distancing, lockdown and hygiene practices taken by the governments seemed to be pointless in controlling the coronavirus spread.

While almost every country is being affected by the pandemic, the second wave of coronavirus could worsen the situation in the coming months.

Some countries including the USA and India are on the brink of the second wave of coronavirus as the governments have already eased the lockdown restrictions.

The global coronavirus infection cases have reached 9,714,805, with around 491,856 deaths and 5,250,085 recoveries.
