KATHMANDU, May 7: With the country being ravaged by the deadlier second wave of the coronavirus disease, local administrations have enforced prohibitory orders in a bid to curb the spread of virus to the community level.
Utilizing the authority provided by the Cabinet that the districts can enforce restriction orders if the number of active cases exceed 200 (hill districts) and 500 (districts in terai and the Kathmandu Valley), as many as 60 districts have so far placed prohibitory orders. Fourteen of them have implemented restriction orders in some parts of the districts while 46 others have placed the orders across the whole areas of the districts.
