Nepal COVID-19: Cluster Update #09 | 29 May 2020
Abstract:
With movement restrictions eased across India, the number of returnee migrants both reaching the border and entering the country, have increased significantly. More than 86,057 people are in quarantine centres. The past week saw large numbers of returnees crossing the Nepal-India border across the Terai region in Provinces One, Two, Five and Sudurpaschim. Returnees assemble near border crossings, are taken across the border by buses hired by the local governments, and then sent to their home district/palika. An average of 3,000 people per day, for last 3-4 days, are crossing the border in Nepalgunj area (particularly people from Karnali Province). Reportedly, there has been a lack of record keeping and screening. Traffic police are organizing people onto their respective gaupalika buses. With the large influx in the province, the Karnali Provincial Government has established ‘transit centres’ near the provincial borders and started to provide water, food and transportation services to the returnees. Humanitarian partners are supporting the Provincial Government in providing food, water and transportation. #COVID19 #Sitrep #UNRCO #Sitrep2020
