An all-side meeting held at Myagdi District Administration Office on Wednesday developed a 15-point decision and guideline for the preparation, precaution, and management to check the possible outbreaks of coronavirus. The meeting has made it mandatory for the returnees to stay in quarantine or isolation for 10 days.
Chief District Officer Ganesh Bahadur Adhikari shared that the arrangement has been made to keep the returnees entering into the district in quarantine as the second wave of coronavirus transmission in India could also put Nepal at risk.
