KATHMANDU: Prohibitory orders are in place in all three districts of the Kathmandu Valley in order to contain the spread of coronavirus.

The enforcement would prevail up to 12.00 pm on 26 August.

Even the people’s mobility has been restricted for general purposes apart from the most essentials. Kathmandu CDO Janak Raj Dahal said the orders have been enforced with the spike in the coronavirus cases and its subsequent threats to public health.

No one is allowed to go out of the home for the activities except for the purchase of medicines and other most essential consumptive goods and services, the Kathmandu district administration office said.

The operation of all types of trades and businesses apart from those related to the most essential services and goods have also been restricted.
