People planning to go abroad for work and further study are seeking the document after various countries made the vaccination certificate against COVID-19 mandatory. Experts worry that such a large crowd without proper social distancing could spread COVID-19 infection

KATHMANDU, April 2: Bijaya Kushwaha, 25, of Kalaiya, Bara sustained a leg injury while operating a thresher machine on Friday. A local medic gave 35 stitches to his wound before he was taken to the National Medical College, Birgunj on Saturday for further treatment. But after he developed cough and fever early Sunday, the hospital declined to continue his treatment suspecting it to be a COVID-19 case and instead referred him to the Shukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital (STIDH) in Kathmandu. Unfortunately, Kushwaha died on his way to Kathmandu.
