Government Orders Quarantine for Asymptomatic Travelers
Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

January 2: The government of Nepal has decided to allow citizens of Nepal and foreigners to enter Nepal without any hassles on condition that they meet certain criteria.

In a letter sent to the subordinate agencies regarding the implementation of the Cabinet decisions of December 24, the Ministry of Home Affairs recently ordered to allow the entry of travelers who are fully-vaccinated at least 14 days before their arrival, the state-owned national news agency RSS reported.    

The asymptotic travelers whose 72-hours PCR tests come out negative have to be quarantined for 10 days after they enter Nepal. These rules apply for Nepali citizens and diplomatic officials as well as foreigners obtaining residential visas, RSS reported.    

Similarly, the Nepali nationals with partial vaccination or those arriving in Nepal in less than 14 days of vaccination will have to undergone antigen tests at the entry points. Those testing positive in the antigen test will be sent for quarantine, the letter further states.   

Such measures have been taken in the wake of Omicron variant which has been increasing in neighbouring India and some other countries.
