Dhangadhi: Health Supply Management Center Dhangadhi has received 30,000 antigen kits.

The kits arrived in Dhangadhi on Saturday from the Health Services Department, Kathmandu, said Padam Bista, acting head of the Health Supply Management Center.

He said that the pandemic has not been curbed and the number of Nepalese entering Nepal from India is increasing at the border checkpoints. 

Out of the antigen kits received, 3500 kits have been sent to Kanchanpur as per the demand. The supply will be sent in other Far-Western districts in a day or two, while the rest of the kits will be kept in stock at the center.

According to Bista, the number of Nepalese entering Nepal from India is increasing which has also increased the risk of the virus.
