Lock Down

Preparations for 'lockdown' to prevent corona infection in Nepal have been discussed. Deputy Prime Minister Ishwar Pokhrel, coordinator of the Corona Infection, Prevention and Control High-Level Coordination Committee has said that the situation should come to a 'lockdown' at any time.

Last Friday, the High-Level Coordinating Committee made a 15-point decision to prevent corona infection. It was referred to as a 'lockdown' rehearsal. The government has banned public places and activities, including schools, colleges, cinema halls, clubs, gatherings, cultural festivals, and events.

In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday announced a 'people's curfew' to be implemented from Sunday.

The government has started 'lockdown' in Nepal since Thursday after the announcement of a 'people's curfew' in India.

The first phase of 'lockdown' is to seal the boat, postpone regular public transportation services without an emergency, close hotels, restaurants, bars, and department stores and shopping malls, postpone public service and service for a certain period, without urgent service, as required by the government base. And do emergency work online, urging citizens to stay safe and safe at home, to others The urge not to come to the hospital except seriously ill. During the 'lockdown' the security forces, including the Nepalese army, will be mobilized.

In addition to the urgent need, the private offices and industry offices, which are more active in the people, will also be closed for a certain period of time. All the courts in Nepal have been closed for two weeks. The first step is to discuss the option of 'locking down' along the valley along the border.

If the situation is not normal after the first step 'lockdown' then 'lockdown' in the second step will be hard. Citizens will not be compelled to stay at home but will be ordered. If there is a breach of the order, there will be an arrangement for action. Isolation of 'isolation' has been taken as the main remedy to prevent this epidemic. Countries in China and Europe that have been hit by Corona have also decided to 'lockdown' the implementation of the measure.
