Across the border from India doctors in Nepal are warning of a major coronavirus crisis as COVID cases soared over the past 24-hours with half of those being tested returning positive results.

Nepal reported more than 9,000 cases in the past 24 hours compared with 298 a month ago.

Hospitals are putting patients on waiting lists or turning them away because of a lack of beds and essential equipment. In an effort to contain the virus, lockdown has been extended and all international and domestic flights have been cancelled.
