The Nepalese government has decided not to resume long-haul bus services and domestic flights until September 16.

A Cabinet meeting took the decision to that effect in light of the rising number of coronavirus cases in the country.

“We have decided to continue the restrictions on long-distance vehicles and domestic flights until September 16,” said Lekhraj Bhatta, minister for industry, commerce and supplies. “Earlier the government’s plan was to resume domestic flights and long-haul bus services from August 17, but due to the increase in the virus cases we have decided to continue the restrictions.”

An earlier plan to resume long-haul public transport and domestic flights from August 17 was postponed until August 31.
