Nepal has detected its first two cases of the Omicron variant of coronavirus, Reuters quotes the health ministry as saying.
A 66-year-old foreigner, who had entered Nepal from a country with confirmed Omicron variant on Nov. 19, and another 71-year-old person who was in close contact with him tested positive for Omicron on Sunday, the ministry said in a statement. It did not identify their nationalities.
“Both of them are in isolation and getting healthcare under the supervision of health workers,” the statement said.
