Stating that the government has already sent circulars and directed all public hospitals to provide treatment to COVID-19 infected people free of cost, Adhikari said the Ministry has decided to treat coronavirus-infected people with symptoms free of cost after bringing an amendment in the health-related ordinance to provide a grant to hospitals carrying out PCR tests and treatment of coronavirus infected people.
Adhikari said that the ministry would provide compensation to the hospitals for providing free of cost test and treatment facilities to people with COVID-19 symptoms.
