LALITPUR, Jan 19: The District Administration Office in Lalitpur has decided to temporarily shut down its regular services except for the essential ones for the service-seekers starting Thursday in view of the growing risk of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.
A public notice signed by Chief District Officer Ghanashyam Upadhyay on Wednesday said the DAO said that some of its staffers had contracted COVID-19 and the infection cases were alarmingly on the rise which has led to the suspension of the services until further notice.
