The Health Ministry put for this proposal in a meeting of the COVID-19 Crisis Management Center (CCMC) chaired by Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba on Friday evening.
As per this proposal, the districts will now be categorized as red, ember, yellow and green depending on the status of COVID-19 cases.
According to sources, the next meeting of the CCMC will take a final decision on the ‘smart lockdown’.
