The Eastern Divisional Headquarters of Nepal Army has established a 420-bed quarantine centre in State 1. The quarantine centre has been set up as preparedness for a potential COVID-19 outbreak in the state.<\/p>\n
Three separate venues of Jhapa, Morang and Udayapur have been selected for quarantine in the State.<\/p>\n
According to Itahari-based provincial army headquarters source, a 200-bed quarantine each has been set up in Tandi of Morang district and Belsoth, Katari of Udayapur district. Likewise, 40-bed quarantine has been set up at the agricultural training center of Bhadrapur, Jhapa.<\/p>\n
”We have established 440-bed quarantine supporting the decision made by State 1 government”, shared an Army official who asked not to be named, ”If needed, we can increase the 40 bed capacity of Bhadrapur to 200 beds.”<\/p>\n
It may be noted that the State 1 government had decided to set up quarantine at Tandi of Morang and SrilankaTapu of Udayapur in its last cabinet meeting of 12 March.<\/p>\n
