Cabinet takes a slew of decisions to curb virus spread but stops short of making them public

Decisions include no flights and long-distance transport until August 31, tightening of entry into the Valley, and reducing the number of entry points from India to 10 from the present 20.

Alarmed by the growing number of Covid-19 cases across the country, especially in Kathmandu Valley which has a large mobile population, the Oli administration’s meeting on Monday evening was keenly awaited. The meeting lasted hours, but the outcome was sketchy.
