On 17 August, the cabinet decided to authorize Chief District Officers (CDO) to enforce ‘prohibitory orders’ in their respective districts based on analysis and recommendations from District COVID-19 Crisis Management Centers (DCCMC). From 19 August onwards ‘prohibitory orders’ have been issued across 34 districts, and some local levels in 16 other districts. CDOs who have enforced these ‘prohibitory orders’ have invoked the Section (2) of the Infectious Disease Act (1964) and Section 6 (3) of the Local Administration Act (1971)1 . The initial four-month lockdown (March-July) was enforced under the Infectious Disease Act. As with the lockdown, prohibitory orders include restrictions on all kinds of non-essential businesses and vehicular movements, education institutions, recreation centers, gatherings of people, sporting events and cultural and religious gatherings. On 26 August, the CDOs of the three Kathmandu Valley municipalities decided to extend the ‘prohibitory orders’ to 2 September.
Government and nongovernment offices as well as financial institutions in direct contact with people in districts with more than 200 active COVID-19 cases, including Kathmandu Valley, shall arrange the delivery of services electronically and asked to operate at half capacity and office heads will be responsible for managing the duties of staff working from home. Institutions that are unable to provide services through online, virtual and electronic mediums will remain on hold until further notice. Meetings, seminars, and gatherings will be restricted except for emergencies. The concerned departments and authorities will monitor the implementation of restrictive measures and penalize those found breaching them.
