Covid 19-related restrictions lifted in Kathmandu valley

KATHMANDU: All kinds of restrictions issued earlier in Kathmandu Valley following a surge in Covid 19 cases have been lifted with the decreasing trend of coronavirus of late. The restrictions have been removed since Saturday. All three districts — Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur — of the valley confirmed this on Friday. With this, activities relating to politics, economy, society, education and other professions will resume in a full-fledged manner by following health protocols. The order to remove restrictions has been made by exercising rights given by the Local Administration Act, 2028, Infectious Disease Act, 2020, the smart lockdown procedure, 2078 for risk control, regulation and prohibition of Covid 19, recommendations of the COVID-19 Crisis Management Coordination Centre (CCMCC), and the decisions taken by the Council of Ministers, it is stated. The three district administration offices thanked people for helping the government in the prevention and control of the virus by abiding by the orders. READ ALSO:
