Talking to reporters after the meeting of the General Convention Organizing Committee of the ruling CPN-UML, Foreign Minister Pradeep Gyawali said that there would be no immediate lockdown across the country.

“Lockdown breaks the coronavirus spread rate, but it’s not a long-term solution. The economy is also in a state of turmoil, ‘said Gyawali.
