Though 1,716 people have died of this viral infection so far, as many as 136,573 people have won their battles against the pandemic that emerged from the Chinese province of Wuhan a year ago. This accounts for 94.9 percent of the total confirmed cases so far.
Meanwhile, the Kathmandu Valley, where Nepal’s federal capital city lies, added 333 new cases (191 males and 142 females) on Monday. Nepal’s most populated city has so far reported 116,113 cases.
