The major opposition Nepali Congress has said government must not run away from the responsibility of testing and treating COVID-19. The NC reminded constitutional and legal provisions and election manifestos.

Issuing a press release on Tuesday, the central organization department of the party further said the Constitution had provided right to health as fundamental rights; Public Health Act mentions that people will have free treatment to the communicable disease; and the Supreme Court has asked the government to ensure citizen’s fundamental rights to health.

The department expressed concern over government forcing citizens to conduct test and treatment of COVID-19 on their own. It is government’s responsibility to save people’s life by arranging everything necessary like quarantine, isolation, ICU, ventilators and medicine, the NC stressed.
