Nepal
Nepal’s first case of COVID-19 was reported in Kathmandu on 24 January 2020, although the second was not confirmed until 23 March. The government has taken a number of steps to slow the spread of the disease, sealing its borders, closing schools and cancelling promotional activities for its Visit Nepal Year 2020 tourism campaign. On 24 March, a nationwide lockdown came into effect, which is scheduled to last until 27 April.
