Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan office soon to impose lockdown to curb the spread of Coronavirus

Spokesperson of Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan Santosh Mudbhari said that discussions are underway to impose a lock down. "In the past, Coronavirus was detected only in people who returned from other countries," said spokesperson Mudbhari. However, now the virus has been detected in police personnel, bank employees, health workers and traders. The virus has started spreading at a community level. The lockdown will soon be imposed to curb the spread at the community level. A discussion was held on Monday regarding the surge in cases. In the meeting we reached a consensus to impose a lockdown to curb its spread. The market has been very crowded after the 1st lockdown was lifted, that fact must be taken into account, he said" Spokesperson Mudbhari also informed Dinesh Khabar that Nepalese continue to return from India but there are limited quarantines to accommodate them. As the festive season is on, there’s a lot of hustle and bustle in the market area. Public Health Inspector of the Health Branch Laxmi Raj Upadhyaya informed that the number of infected people has reached 144 in Dhangadhi.
