Nepal is a very typical South Asian country, located in the south of the Himalayas. It is a good tourist destination country, which has deep roots with Indian culture and China. Now that the global epidemic continues to ferment, Nepal has begun to change its entry rules and requirements. This is the latest entry regulation in Nepal.

The Cabinet of Nepalese Government held a meeting on 22nd and decided to close all borders from March 23rd, 2020 to prevent imported cases of COVID-19 infection.

Nepal is only adjacent to India and China. The Nigerian Cabinet instructed the Ministry of the Interior to send a letter to the border areas, and all border crossings will be closed from 23rd 10, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. However, cross-border cargo transportation can continue.

The duration of the above policy is tentatively set at one week.

Nepalese Prime Minister Ollie delivered a national televised speech on the evening of 20th, announcing that all international flights would be banned from entering Nepal from March 22nd to March 3rd1day.

In response to possible outbreaks, isolation wards or specialized hospitals have been set up in many places in Nepal.

Ollie also said that people should stay at home as much as possible without special needs, and Nepalese nationals are not allowed to travel abroad. The government plans to close all domestic airports and increase health checkpoints at all border crossings.

At the same time, starting from the 22nd, all long-distance buses in Nepal stopped operating. Most government departments will be closed from March 2/KLOC-0 to April 4.

Ollie appealed to everyone not to panic, and the government will take active measures to deal with the possible outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic. In addition, the Nepalese government has decided to provide financial support of 65,438 billion rupees to the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) for regional cooperation in fighting the COVID-19 epidemic.

Nepal's Ministry of Health and Population said on the 20th that hospitals with more than 50 beds in Kathmandu should suspend general outpatient service to give priority to patients suspected of COVID-19 infection. At the same time, the national laboratory is required to ensure that there are enough COVID-19 detection reagents. The Ministry of the Interior must do a good job in the security of medical institutions.

The plenary session of the Supreme Court of Nepal issued a request on the 20th: All courts in Nepal will be closed until April 4th. The Federal House of Nepal's Federal Parliament also announced an indefinite recess on the 20th until a new notice was issued. The famous Hyatt Hotel and Yak Hotel in Kathmandu have also been closed.

According to Kathmandu police data, 350,000 people have left Kathmandu in the past three days.

Analysts said that although Nepal only reported 1 case of COVID-19 infection, all South Asian countries have cases of COVID-19 infection, and the number is increasing, which is the main reason for Nepal to strengthen its fight against the epidemic.
