Two weeks have passed since the outbreak of cholera in Parsa. But the source of infection spread here has not been discovered yet. Even though the local, state and federal governments have tried to control the outbreak of cholera, in practice, neither the infection of cholera has been controlled nor the source of the infection has been found.
Cholera, which was initially seen only in a limited area of Birgunj Metropolitan Municipality, has now also been seen in Pokhria Municipality area, which is about 20 km west of Birgunj. According to the data released by the Municipal Corporation Office at 5:30 pm on Wednesday, the number of cholera infected people in Birganj alone has reached 182.
182 of them have returned home from hospitals after treatment. 10 cholera infected are still receiving treatment. According to the data released by the District Health Office on Wednesday morning, 13 cholera infected have been confirmed in Pokhria Hospital so far. Till now, the number of cholera infected in the district including Birganj and Pokhria has reached 195.
965 diarrhea and cholera patients have come in contact with various hospitals in Birganj so far. 965 of them have been discharged and returned home. 55 patients are still undergoing treatment in different hospitals. 51 new patients of diarrhea and cholera have been added in 24 hours.
At present, 55 patients are still being treated, including 8 patients in ICU, 1 HDU and 46 in the general ward. The educational institutions here, which were closed for one and a half weeks by the office of the Birgunj Metropolitan Municipality to prevent the spread of the disaster, have partially resumed operations since Wednesday. Only classes from class 8 onwards have started.
Doctors claim that the cholera infection rate is not as high as in the early days. Narayani Hospital spokesperson Dr. Udayanarayan Singh says that cholera infection is confirmed in 50 percent of the total diarrheal patients who come to the hospital during the first four days of the first week of the onset of cholera. He said that although there is no need to panic at present, it is necessary for the general public to take precautions.
