Nepal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) has said that necessary medicines required for the control of coronavirus infection will arrive in Nepal on Saturday.

According to the ministry, the items were collected in Chengdu on Friday and sent to Nepal as the quantity met the demand made by the government.

Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Yogesh Bhattarai said that the government was planning to send an aircraft to bring the medicines.
The government had sent a list of necessary goods and medicines through the MoFA.

The Ministry of Health and Population is waiting for the materials that needed an immediate distribution. Meanwhile, Our Sindhupalchok Correspondent reported that about 2,000 coronavirus test kits were expected to arrive at Tatopani border point by 10 am on Saturday.

According to Lal Bahadur Khatri, chief of Tatopani Dry Port Customs Office, as the government had decided to send a plane to carry medicine and medical items on Friday, dispatch of the consignment was delayed. He said that the items will reach Kathmandu by Saturday evening after completing the necessary customs procedure.

A thorough medical protocol would be followed while passing the medical goods at the customs office. The border point was closed for the last two months. It will resume its operation along with the entry of the test kits.
