All local governments inside Kathmandu valley have jointly decided to shut their offices until August 31, in a bid to curb the rapid spread of coronavirus inside the valley.

The local governments, however, have said essential services will be provided during this period.

A meeting of Kathmandu Valley Municipality Forum today, declaring the unanimous decision, also pledged to increase contact tracing of those people who come into close contact with those contracting the virus.

The forum consists of two metropolia, 16 municipalities and four rural municipalities.
 
Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Bidya Sundar Shakya, who chairs the forum, said at the meeting today that the decision would likely break the chain of COVID-19 spread. Kathmandu district, now has over 2,700 cases, the largest infected district in the country.
