Kathmandu administration restricts crowded activities

KATHMANDU, Aug 3: The District Administration Office, Kathmandu, has urged the people not to crowd or get involved in such activities, citing a rise in coronavirus infection cases in Kathmandu Valley in the last few days.

Issuing a notice today, the District Administration Office requested not to organise such activities, saying activities like conference, meeting, rally and seminar are still taking place even amidst the high risk of coronavirus infection. 

The notice issued by Chief District Officer, Kali Prasad Parajuli, asked the people not to carry out activities against health safety protocols as coronavirus infection would increase and there is a possibility of a third wave of COVID-19 due to crowded activities. 

The notice reads, "Stern action will be taken against those creating crowds and involved in such activities defying the prohibitory order and health safety protocols." 

All the sides and communities should be responsible to prevent and control the infection; ICU and ventilators at the hospitals have started to be packed with patients, mentioned the notice.
