After the Nepal government enforced the nationwide lockdown to contain the coronavirus spread on March 24, the international airport as well as all international borders were shut down.

The lockdown went on for four months and hundreds of thousands of migrant workers, especially those returning home from India and the Persian Gulf, were barred from entering the country. The government had said at the time that there weren’t enough quarantine and isolation facilities to keep the people returning from abroad.

After July 21, the authorities finally allowed people to enter the country after the government lifted its four months long lockdown. But the management of the quarantine and isolation facilities was so poor that these facilities themselves became “breeding grounds for coronavirus.”
