Three COVID-19 related deaths were confirmed this week: a 29-year-old new mother from Sindhupalchowk, a 25-year-old man in a quarantine site in Banke and a 41-year-old man in Rupandehi died on 16, 17 and 21 May respectively. Over the past week the number of COVID-19 cases rose to 486. Nearly half of the total cases (196) have been identified in Province Five, followed by Province Two with 136 new cases. As a result, the nationwide lockdown, first enforced on 24 March, was extended by the Government on 17 May for the seventh time, until 2 June. All international and domestic flights have been suspended until 14 June, with exceptions for emergency services, repatriation of foreigners and the import of medicines and essential supplies. Amidst the surge in positive cases, some additional stringent measures aimed at stopping the spread have been enacted, effective 16 May: all vehicle passes issued by District Administration Offices (DAOs) across the country have been cancelled. Some districts and municipalities, including Sindhupalchowk, Nawalparasi and Kabilbastu districts and municipalities that have detected new cases have sealed their boundaries and intensified case investigation and contact tracing.
