I confirm that any such study reported in the manuscript has been registered and the trial registration ID is provided (note: if posting a prospective study registered retrospectively, please provide a statement in the trial ID field explaining why the study was not registered in advance). Nepal has lifted the lockdown even as India has also re-imposed strict restriction on movement in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, two states bordering Nepal where there has been a surge in cases after they partially lifted the.

I understand that all clinical trials and any other prospective interventional studies must be registered with an ICMJE-approved registry, such as . The lockdown was clamped four months ago after the second case was detected in a passenger who had flown in from Paris. The details of the IRB/oversight body that provided approval or exemption for the research described are given below:Īll necessary patient/participant consent has been obtained and the appropriate institutional forms have been archived. I confirm all relevant ethical guidelines have been followed, and any necessary IRB and/or ethics committee approvals have been obtained. This research received no specific grant from any funding agency, commercial or not-for-profit sectors. The authors have declared no competing interest. The government needs to allocate more resources, increase its capacity to test and trace, establish dedicated isolation and quarantine facilities, and impose local restrictions to manage potential COVID-19 outbreaks after easing lockdown. A vaccination drive started on Jan 27, 2021, and as of April 20, 2021, 17 million doses of COVID vaccines have been administered to selected populations as a first dose. The spatial distribution clearly shows that the cases were rapidly spreading from the southern part of the country where most points of entry and exit from India are located. As of April 20, 2021, there have been a total of 287 567 confirmed cases and 3102 deaths in Nepal, a country with a population of more than 28 million. Nepal had reported a total of 17994 positive cases and 40 deaths at the end of lockdown. It has recorded its highest daily rise in coronavirus infections with a total of 740 new cases from the total of 4483 RT-PCR tests performed on a single day. Nepal had performed 7791 RT-PCR tests for COVID-19, the highest number of tests during the lockdown.

There were only two confirmed cases from 610 Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) tests and no fatalities when the government introduced nationwide lockdown. We collated and analysed data provided by the Nepalese Ministry of Health and Population. Here we present the overall scenario of COVID-19, government efforts, impact on socio-economic, education, and health care, and prevailing challenges when the lockdown was lifted. The Government of Nepal issued a nationwide lockdown from 24 March to 21 July 2020.
