Sarawagi further commented that his health is in a normal condition and he hopes to recover soon and get back to his work.
The Mayor, however, made an appeal to the Federal and Provincial governments to map out a concrete plan to contain the spread of the contagion in Birgunj as things have, according to him, gone out of hands of local level authorities.
There has been a spike in number of daily cases in Birgunj during recent times after experiencing a downward spiral prior to the resurgence.
