International expedition quits Everest ascent amid Covid surge 2 minutes read Kathmandu, May 16 (EFE).- An international expedition has abandoned its plans to climb Mt Everest due to the growing coronavirus outbreak at the base camp, one of the organizers told EFE on Sunday. Tendi Sherpa, director of local firm Icela Trekking and Expedition that was assisting in the expedition organized by Austria’s Furtenbach Adventures, said that concerns over Covid-19 have grown in recent days. “We had more than 50 people in the base camp. First, we tested some of them and four of them were found to be infected,” said Sherpa, adding that four more people tested positive a few days later.
