He also asked them to also spread awareness about the virus, but not only talks about development and prosperity while reaching out to the people for votes.
Inaugurating an interaction 'Communications against vaccination risks against COVID-19 and community participation' organised here today by the Ministry of Health and Population with the assistance of the World Health Organisation, NA Chair Timilsina shared that all should strictly follow the health protocols against the infection as it has yet to be controlled.

Similarly, Dr Rajesh Sambhajirao Pandav, chief of the WHO Office, Nepal, praised Nepal's efforts in preventing and controlling COVID-19.
