Services provided by the rural municipality would be closed, only a single person would be allowed to ride two-wheelers and two persons would be allowed to travel in four-wheelers, religious places, sports ground, among other places where people gather would also be closed from tomorrow onwards.

Issuing the statement today, Bhusal said swab samples were collected from 93 persons through contact tracing, including from security personnel and health workers, among others working in the frontline.
