In view of COVID-19 fears, the Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) is collecting record of individuals returning home from foreign countries after March 1.
As shared by the chief of administration department at KMC Nabraj Dhakal, an attempt has been made to prevent the coronavirus pneumonia spread.
For this, the KMC is keeping records of people returning home from foreign countries and all the wards have been communicated in writing to that end.
Likewise, the KMC has asked all the wards to effectively manage the wastes like before. Similarly, the KMC has written the ward offices to facilitate the opening of the groceries and send daily essentials at every household with the help of police, if possible.
The KMC has also urged the ward offices to support the daily wage earners, labors and homeless people for their living from the fund collected under the heading of COVID-19 Prevention and Control.
The ward offices should submit the details after collecting the records about the abject poor and the labors staying in the concerned wards for six months, read the statement written to the wards by the KMC.
Earlier on March 19, the KMC established a 100-million fund for the prevention and control of COVID-19.
