COVID-19 Wave II: Where will Nepal go? My Republica Nepal, May 12 With South Asia becoming the center of the Corona pandemic in recent times, Nepal has reached a position where the daily positivity is very high not only in this region but also in the world. Past experience and inability to learn from the rest of the world is the biggest weakness and mistake of Nepal. The first case of the COVID-19 pandemic in Nepal was confirmed on 23 January 2020. It was also the first recorded case of COVID-19 in South Asia. Nepal reported its first COVID-19 death on May 16, 2020. The death rate from COVID-19 was high in September and October last year in Nepal during the first wave of the viral disease. Nepal is a landlocked country situated between China and India in South Asia. China lies to the northern side of Nepal surrounded by high mountains and no open border. Nepal is surrounded by India from the east, south and west. The two countries have an open border between them. Due to geographic and socio-economic relations between India and Nepal, the COVID-19 control policy of Nepal is also to some extent dependent on the situation in India and Indian government s activities. The major surge of COVID-19 in Nepal was through India.
