Among the 623 people who underwent an antigen test at the Trinagar checkpoint, 22 were tested positive for the COVID-19, according to Superintendent of Police of the Armed Police Force Nepal in Saileswari, Birendra Bahadur Aiyer.
Two people were tested positive for the virus when COVID-19 tests were conducted among 823 people who came into Nepal through the Gadda Chauki check post.
