KATHMANDU: At the time when the preparations are underway to evacuate Nepalis from China reeling under the scare of coronavirus, officials are searching for an appropriate place to quarantine the evacuees.
Some 177 Nepalis who will be airlifted from China will be kept at an isolated place to make sure if they have been infected with the deadly virus or not and stop the infection from spreading to others.
They will be kept at the quarantine under doctors’ supervision for 15 days.
