According to the Embassy, there are nearly 120 thousand Nepalis in Australia. “Now all Nepalis in Australia have no coronavirus,” ambassador Dahal revealed happily.
Dahal said that he has been coordinating with honorary consuls and NRN Australia to get the latest updates about the situations.
Earlier, one Nepali in Tasmania was found coronavirus positive, but later he, too, had recovered.
“As Australia government’s measures have proved effective so far, there is a little chance for COVID-19’s recurrence here,” ambassador Dahal said, “however, all Nepalis should abide by the directives of the government here.”
There are 54 thousand Nepali students in Australia.
Hemanta Kafle, the President of the Australian Nepalese Journalists’ Association(ANJA) advises the authority to help the students on a priority basis as not everyone there were in need of relief package.
