Credit: Marty Logan/IPSBy Marty LoganKATHMANDU, Feb 4 2022 (IPS) As the omicron wave of Covid-19 rose ominously in Nepal recently, to entice more people to get tested the government reduced the cost of PCR tests from 1,000 rupees ($8.37) to 800 rupees ($6.70) in government facilities and about double that in private ones.
