Kathmandu, Aug 30 : The health committee of Non-Resident Nepalis' Association (NRNA) has appealed to the Nepali community to maintain further alertness and patience in the wake of rising case of coronavirus.    

The committee coordinator Dr Sanjeev Sapkota told the Nepali communities in South Korea, Portugal, Spain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia to avoid gathering in the room and public places as it would spread the deadly virus.

Limiting few people and maintaining social distancing are must, he stressed.
