NEPALGUNJ: The local administration has imposed a prohibitory order to remain effective for the next three days in Banke district.
The decision was taken after 30 people were found infected in a single day during a test of people carried out in government offices and in the communities.
The order has been issued in order to prevent further spread of the coronavirus, said Chief District Officer Ram Bahadur Kurumba. Only essential services including health, security, drinking water, milk and others will be allowed to function during the three days.
Contact tracing of 30 infected people has been completed and swab samples of 423 people have been collected for testing.
High alert has been adopted after employees at the Inland Revenue Office and Transport Management Office as well as a sweets shop proprietor in Tribhuvan Chowk were found infected with the virus, said Naresh Shrestha, Corona Resource Person at the District Health Office.
So far, 437 have tested positive to coronavirus in Banke with two deaths. Currently, 54 people are undergoing treatment at the three isolation centres in Nepalgunj and the Corona Special Hospital in Khajura.
