Nepal COVID-19: Cluster Update #05 | 1 May 2020
|
The Government of Nepal (GoN) extended the nation-wide lockdown until 7 May, maintaining the closure of all points of entry and restricting domestic and international flights until 15 May. This is the fourth consecutive time the Government has extended the lockdown since 24 March 2020.
The Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) completed a rapid assessment of approximately 1000 quarantine sites across the country. The assessment was undertaken jointly by local governments, I/NGOs and Red Cross and coordinated at the provincial level by the UN Provincial Coordination Focal Point Agencies. Issues related to protection, quarantine site management, risk communication and WASH were identified. The UN Resident Coordinator convened an HCT meeting to discuss initial findings and will be engaging with senior GoN officials to advocate on some of the identified issues. Nine (9) new COVID-19 cases were confirmed, bringing the total cases in Nepal to 57. Among the 57 positive cases, 16 have recovered 41 are in isolation and treatment where necessary, no deaths have been reported so far. The highest proportion of cases (31) have been identified in Province One. Some provincial and local governments are quarantining people entering from neighbouring provinces, leading to an increased number of persons in quarantine, up nearly three times (27,239) compared to the previous week (8,793). Preliminary findings from the quarantine assessment confirms many individuals are ‘re-quarantined’ due to crossing multiple provincial boundaries.
