Prohibitory order issued in Banke

Kathmandu - The local administration has imposed a prohibitory order to be effective for the next three days in the district. The decision was taken after 30 people were found infected in a single day during a test of people carried out in government offices and in the communities.

The order has been issued in order to prevent further spread of the Corona Virus, said Chief District Officer Ram Bahadur Kurumba. Only essential services including health, security, drinking water, milk and others will be allowed to function during the three days. A contract tracing of the 30 infected people has been completed and the swab samples of 423 people have been collected for testing.
