Nepal is struggling to contain a new surge in COVID-19 cases, which has led officials to worry that the situation could become similar to — or worse than — the devastating outbreak in India.

Nepal, which shares a long border with India, now has a national positivity rate of 47%. The country reported 9,070 new daily infections on Thursday, setting a nationwide record.

“What’s happening in India right now is a horrifying preview of Nepal’s future if we cannot contain this latest COVID surge that is claiming more lives by the minute,” Netra Prasad Timsina, the chair of the Nepal Red Cross, toldTop government officials called for international help this week to manage emergency facilities and reduce pressure on the healthcare system.
