A 15-bed isolation facility has been started in Sharada Secondary School in Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC)-9.
The isolation centre was brought into operation from Monday under the management of Matrika Eye Treatment Centre after receiving technical assistance from KMC with the spread of the second wave of COVID-19.

Preparations are on to increase the capacity of the isolation centre to up to 60 with the rise in COVID-19 patients, chief of the Isolation Centre Suraj Shrestha said.
