PDF File Size: 257 KB | Download   
The COVID lockdown is still in effect in Nepal but with substantial changes in the modality. On June 10 the Government decided to ease the lockdown in some low-risk areas, including the Kathmandu valley. Under this changed modality, a variety of services and businesses, manufacturing industries, private automobiles (based on odd-even plate numbers) can operate, while maintaining safety measures. Kathmandu’s streets have started seeing crowds of people as banks, government offices and shops setting essential commodities are back in business. Restaurants can operate for takeaways and food delivery. The lockdown measures will be based on the risk assessment of the respective district administration offices (DAO). The first phase of relaxation is expected to span 21 days. The lockdown will be further eased in the second and third phases –each phase spanning 15 days– depending on the impact assessment. However, no decision has been taken regarding the resumption of public transportation including taxis and long-distance bus services. Educational institutions, recreation spots and commercial airlines will remain closed.
