China News Agency, Kathmandu, July 20 (Reporter Zhang Chenyi) The Nepal Cabinet meeting decided on the 20th that it will resume domestic and international flight operations from August 17.

  In order to prevent and control the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, Nepal imposed a flight ban on March 22. During the ban period, except for special flights such as evacuation and cargo transportation, ordinary flights cannot take off and land in Nepal.

  The Minister of Federal Affairs and General Administration of Nigeria, Ridayesh Tripati, said that elementary schools, universities and other educational institutions will continue to blockade in the near future. "At present, the government is also discussing the cancellation of the motor vehicle single and double number restrictions."

  At the beginning of the Nepalese flight ban, there was only one case of new coronavirus infection in the country. According to a report by the Ministry of Health and Population of Nepal on July 20, there are now a total of 17,844 cases of new coronavirus infection in the country, with a cure rate of 66.51%.

  It is worth noting that the peak number of new cases in Nepal on a single day was 740 on July 3. The number of new cases per day subsequently fell off a cliff, and recently stabilized at around 100 cases. (Finish)
