Limit exposure

The safest way is to keep celebrations and gatherings within our family and pod.

Public health guidelines were massively flouted during the Dashain holidays. Marketplaces, transportation terminals and public transportation were crowded. People travelled to and fro to celebrate the festival with family and friends, including from hotspots like the Kathmandu Valley. While we do not have a clear picture as to what extent the holidays have contributed to the surge in cases, the reality is that Covid-19 continues to spike. People continue to suffer and even die while the government lags pathetically in testing, tracing and isolating people who have contracted the coronavirus.
