KAVRE, Aug 21: In view of a sudden spike in the cases of the coronavirus disease, the COVID-19 District Crisis Management Centre, Kavrepalanchowk, decided to enforce a complete restriction on the operation of public vehicles in the district starting Thursday.
Chief District Officer Shrawan Kumar Timilsina said the operation of public vehicles has been restricted until 26 August in view of the rise in the rate of coronavirus infection.

The district administration office, however, has allowed business activities within a stipulated time until further notice.
The move was taken to contain the virus which was spreading due to rampant rise in the crowd and mobility of people in Dhulikhel, Panauti, Banepa, Panchkhal and Namobuddha municipalities.
The limited business activities are allowed from 7 to 9 in the morning and from 4 to 6 in the evening but full adherence to the safety protocol is a must.
As many as 102 corona infected people are undergoing treatment at different isolation wards in the district. Two people have so far lost their lives to the virus in Kavre.
