Ignoring health standards could lead to stricter prohibitory order again: Ministry of Health

KATHMANDU: AUGUST 24 – The Ministry of Health and Population has said that if the health standards issued by the government are ignored, strict prohibitory order may be imposed again.

On Tuesday, the ministry issued a notice on Facebook stating that it would lead to a strict prohibitory order as the number of people ignoring the norms and crowding in various places on the pretext of the festival increased.

As it is its own responsibility to prevent such a situation, the ministry has urged to adhere to the public health standards such as wearing masks, maintaining physical distance and not crowding.
