Nepal's devastating Covid-19 outbreak showed no signs of abating as the country recorded its highest single-day coronavirus-related deaths with 225 fatalities and 9,483 new cases in the last 24 hours. A deadly second wave of the pandemic is sweeping across Nepal, with about 8,000 new cases being reported daily for the past several days, which is quite high for a country of approximately 30 million people. Hospitals are full and running out of essential supplies. The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued an interim order, directing the federal and provincial governments to ensure adequate supply of oxygen, medicines, beds and nursing staff at hospitals.
