All three key advisors of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli have tested negative for COVID-19 in less than a week after they were diagnosed with the coronavirus infection.

According to Prime Minister’s Press Advisor, Surya Thapa, he along with Prime Minister’s Chief Advisor, Bishnu Rimal and Foreign Affairs Advisor, Rajan Bhattarai, tested negative for the virus in a recent PCR test conducted for the COVID-19.

“The test result of the contact tracing of our family members has also come out negative. We have been able to conquer COVID-19 in less than seven days,” said Thapa.

Thapa, Rimal and Bhattarai tested positive for the COVID-19 along with a number of other staff including 74 security personnel deployed at the Prime Minister’s Official Residence in Baluwatar last week.

While the prime minister’s key aides stayed in home isolation, all the security personnel deployed there were replaced after majority of them tested positive for the virus.
