New Delhi: As the current spring season draws to an end, climbers and expedition organisers have reported more COVID-19 cases on the world’s tallest peak, Mt. Everest, while an official from the Nepali Department of Tourism has denied it, saying no written reports were presented yet.
Damian Browne, a former Irish professional rugby player who attempted to summit the peak this year, announced in a social media post on May 22 that four climbers of his team, including himself, were infected with the COVID, Xinhua news agency reported. “Of the four-team members evacuated and sequestered, two including me have symptoms and two don’t,” he wrote.
