The Government of Nepal (GoN) has extended the lockdown to 22 July. As the lockdown has been eased, authorities are urging people to adhere to recommended health safety measures such as wearing masks in public places and workspaces. The suspension of domestic and international commercial passenger flights has been extended to 21 July. Special permission from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal is required for rescue flights, freight flights and flights carrying medical and other essential supplies. The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is 14,519, with 31 deaths and 5,320 recoveries. 38,109 people are staying in quarantine centres and 9,168 in isolation centres as of 2 July.
The number of persons in quarantine centres has significantly decreased, as alternatives measures such as home/hotel quarantine have been introduced. As of 2 July, around 42,644 persons are staying in quarantine sites, down from 78,639 on 24 June. The COVID-19 Crisis Management Committee (CCMC) has recommended provincial governments to upgrade quarantine centres according to needs and ensure necessary monitoring and facilitation. People arriving in the Kathmandu Valley via air or land who have space to quarantine in their own house can request home quarantine. Local police and ward committee members are tasked with monitoring, and if the conditions are found be appropriate the District COVID-19 Crisis Management Centre (DCCMC) can grant permission for home quarantine.
