KATHMANDU, 1 May, 2021 (TON): Amidst the pandemic surge, on Friday, the Covid-19 Crisis Management Centre had decided to shut all the border points with India except 13 of the 35 entry points and develop holding centers at the entry points from where people enter Nepal.

Health Minister Hridayesh Tripathi, a member of the Centre said, “We have decided to ensure that the restrictions are strictly followed.”

“Only 13 of the 35 entry points will remain open,” he added.

The entry points from where Nepalis can enter are Kakarvitta, Jogbani, Pashupatinagar, Bhittamod, Gaur, Birgunj, Belahiya, Krishnanagar, Jamunah, Jhulaghat, Kolughat, Gauriphanta and Gaddachauki.

Due to India’s rapid spread of the viral infection, the Nepalis working in India have been returning home.

However, the government has already decided to ban the entry of foreigners to Nepal via road but those coming from flights should stay in the hotel quarantine for 10 days.
