Risk of infection as market crowded in the morning

Danger of increasing the infection due to the crowd in the shop market which is open in the morning during the ban imposed in the Kathmandu Valley after the increase in the number of corona infections.

All the three administration offices in the Kathmandu Valley are allowed to open food shops till 9.30 am. But at that time, there was a crowd in the public market.

Especially the vegetable market is very crowded and the risk of infection has increased due to lack of physical distance. Food shops as well as vegetable and fruit shops are open in the morning. Similarly, vegetables are being sold on the side of the road.

The administration office has made arrangements to keep the shops selling medicine, water and health items open at any time whereas, shops selling fruits, vegetables and food shops are only allowed to open till 9:15 in the morning.
