KATHMANDU (THE KATHMANDU POST/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - On Sunday (May 9), Mr Hukum Adhikari tested positive for Covid-19. Two days later, his wife also tested positive for the virus.
Mr Adhikari, 50, had fever and non-stop cough accompanied by body ache. The condition of his wife Sabitri, 45, was more serious as she had difficulty breathing.
"Luckily, one of my relatives arranged for an oxygen cylinder for us, so we didn't have to go to the hospital," said Mr Adhikari, a freelance researcher.
"I can't imagine how difficult things would have been if she had to be rushed to the hospital," said Mr Adhikari, a father of two grown-up sons, both of whom are abroad for higher studies.
