   Nepal is situated in between China and India. China is the most adversely afffected country by COVID19. And now, the cases of COVID-19 is also increasing in India. With Nepal, being a landlocked country with two India and China as neighbor is in a high risk of COVID-19. Nepal had one case of the coronavirus as of Wednesday and the person was completely cured. Having said that, Nepal is still in the high risk of this pandemic, for this there was closing cinemas, stadiums, gyms, museums, swimming pools and dance bars until April 30. Schools and universities will be shut. A model of quarantine zone is seen at the Nepalese Army headquarters, amid concerns about the spread of COVID-19, in Kathmandu, Nepal, Wednesday, March 18. Passengers transiting through Europe, the Middle East, Iran, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan will not be allowed to enter Nepal until April 15, Nepal's government said in a statement. Nepal has also banned gatherings of more than 25 people in temples, monasteries, churches, mosques and other public places. The World Health Organization is urging governments to implement a comprehensive, aggressive approach in tackling COVID-19, to slow down the rapidly increasing number of cases and deaths from this dangerous new virus in Europe and other parts of the world. The largest number of cases and deaths from coronavirus are still being reported from the Western Pacific region, which includes China. But Europe is running a close second and now has a larger cumulative number of confirmed infections and deaths than all other regions combined. This is an uncontrollable condition. However, we must follow WHO guidelines and go through it. We must listen to the authentic news and avoid fake news. Government and various authorities are doing their best to their level but it would be of no use if we don't practice at an individual level. Stay boosted with your immune system and psychology. Stay safe, my dear friends! |
