Nepal is currently under lockdown where people are self-isolating and staying home till 6th June 2020 midnight which has been declared by the Nepal Government Officials. The lockdown was declared for the safety of citizens and a way to contain the community spread of the novel Corona virus (COVID-19). People are starting to question the lockdown as will it extend to another week or so? But, according to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Pokhrel who is leading Nepal’s fight against COVID-19, “We are closely following developments. We cannot actually say how long the lockdown will go.” Lockdown has yet not affected any transportation of food, fuel, and essential supplies from India into Nepal through four border crossings. The duration of Nepal’s lockdown will also depend on how the situation evolves in India. With China well on its way to containing the virus, and given its strict level restrictions, there is less of a threat to Nepal from the north. But due to the open border and the provision of the free movement of people across it, Nepal will have a hard time controlling the spread of the Coronavirus from India. Furthermore, Clinic one has been in its service since the lockdown. We have been serving our patients through phone calls and WhatsApp. The patients can consult with their respective doctors through the phone.
