In Bardiya prison, healthy detainees and prisoners are having a chance of getting a viral infection due to the lack of separate treatment room for viral affected inmates. More than 40 prisoners and detainees are infected from viral fever. The numbers of viral infected patients in the prison are increasing since its outbreak on July 13. Jailer Rohit Shrestha said that health personnel have been summoned from the District Health Office of Guleriya for their treatment. He further said that there is no separate room to keep those viral affected prisoners. There are 257 prisoners and detainees in Bardiya prison however it has the capacity to accommodate only 125.
