KATHMANDU, May 14: Tests for the confirmation of COVID-19 infection among the people at the Kalimati Fruits and Vegetable Market (KFVM), Kathmandu, are being carried out on Thursday. 

In an attempt to launch a massive testing campaign, the Ministry of Health and Population and KFVM Development Committee started testing businessmen, staffers at vegetable shops, drivers and helpers involved in vegetable supplies, porters, cleaning laborers, security and other staffers at the market area for this deadly disease both via the rapid diagnostic test (RDT) method and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method from 11 am earlier today. 

Swab samples are being collected on the premises of KFVM. Here are some photos taken by our photojournalist Dipesh Shrestha earlier today
