Kathmandu - The district level COVID-19 crisis management centre (CCMC) has decided to set up a 50-bed isolation ward at Pipara health post in Pipara rural municipality and a 50-bed isolation ward at Bardibas municipality following the detection of 17 coronavirus infected cases in the district headquarters, Jaleshwor on Thursday.
