New delhi date. 23 April 2021, Friday

There is hardly a country in the world where the corona virus has not reached but now the corona virus has reached the mountains of Mount Everest.

According to the details received, a Norwegian mountaineer who was climbing Mount Everest has been infected. Which has raised concerns in Nepal.

The mountaineering season was ruined last year following a lockdown imposed by the Corona virus. This year, Nepal has relaxed quarantine rules to attract a large number of mountaineers. As a result, some climbers are reaching Nepal to climb Everest. "I'm infected with corona and I'm being treated at a hospital," said Arland Ness, a Norwegian mountaineer, in a message to a news agency.

Ness was at the base camp of Everest at the time and was showing signs of corona transition. He was then airlifted by helicopter to a hospital in Kathmandu. Another Sherpa of Ness's team has also had a corona.

"I don't want the rest of the members to be corona," Ness said. Because at an altitude of 8000 feet it is difficult to take the person out by helicopter. Breathing at altitude is also difficult and transitioning from the corona from above can increase the risk.
