Prime Minister (PM) KP Sharma Oli will hold discussion with public health experts on Tuesday to decide whether to impose lockdown or not even as the country sees a surge of COVID-19 cases.
PM Oli has also called ministers and secretaries, and other experts in the COVID-19 Crisis Management Center (CCMC) for discussion. He had also discussed with experts before relaxing the nationwide lockdown that has since been ended.
"PM will host a meeting with experts on Tuesday. The time has yet to be decided," a Baluwatar source confided. "Infection is rising in Birgunj, Kathmandu and other places. He will discuss how to proceed forward."
