Dozens of corona infected reached Mount Everest, Nepal government said, ‘this is baseless’

Corona continues to wreak havoc all over the world. Corona cases have started increasing once again in many countries of the world. At least 59 infected people reached Nepal’s Mount Everest in early June, including five who reached the summit. This has come out from the interviews of climbers and mountaineering companies. However, the Nepal government is denying this.

The government says that no case of corona has ever been reported on Everest. Nepal’s tourism official has termed the reports of climbers being corona positive as baseless. He said that there was a patient of pneumonia who was cured after treatment. Coughing in the dry mountain air is not new, he said. Let us tell you that Jangbu Sherpa suffered cold and fever in April this year when climbers gathered at the base camp of Mount Everest to acclimatise their body to the environment of high altitude places.

Aung Tshering Sherpa calls for investigation

After this, the mountaineering company immediately airlifted him and admitted him to the hospital in Kathmandu, where he was found corona positive. He was treated in the hospital for about a week, after which he returned to the base camp. Aung Tshering Sherpa, former president of the Nepal Mountaineering Association, has questioned whether the Sherpa and the climber were supermen. He says that the matter needs to be investigated in depth.
