KATHMANDU, May 24 (Xinhua) -- As the current spring season draws to an end, climbers and expedition organizers report more COVID-19 infections on the world's tallest Mt. Qomolangma, while an official from the Nepali Department of Tourism said no written reports have been presented yet.
Damian Browne, a former Irish professional rugby player who attempted Mt. Qomolangma, announced Saturday through his social media post that four climbers of his team, including himself were infected with the coronavirus.
"Of the four-team members evacuated and sequestered, two including me have symptoms and two don't," he wrote. "For me, learning that I have COVID was in a way a relief and answered many questions I had, but for the guys showing no symptoms and feeling strong, this evacuation and quarantine must be unbelievably frustrating."
