"Mini India"? Nepal epidemic worsens sharply
According to data released by Nepal on the 4th, in the past 24 hours, there have been 7,660 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and 55 new deaths in Nepal. Both data have once again set the highest record since the outbreak in the country. As of 15:00 on the 4th, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Nepal reached 351,005 and the cumulative number of deaths was 3,417. Nepal’s Prime Minister Oli called on the international community to provide Nepal with vaccines, diagnostic facilities, oxygen, and other epidemic prevention and control materials.
Multiple factors have caused the epidemic to become increasingly serious
Why is the current situation in Nepal so severe? What anti-epidemic measures has the government taken to curb the development of the epidemic?
For one week in a row, the overall positive detection rate of the new coronavirus in Nepal has been around 40% to 43%. The positive rate of individual border crossings between Nepal and India has even reached a staggering 80%.
At present, the Kathmandu Valley, where the capital of Nepal is located, is the most severe. Statistics released on the 4th show that in the past 24 hours, there have been more than 2,700 new cases in the Kathmandu Valley, accounting for about 36% of the number of new cases in the country.
Due to the relatively backward economic development of Nepal and limited medical treatment capabilities, the surge of infected patients has put tremendous pressure on the local medical system. It is difficult to find a bed in ICUs and general wards everywhere. Many patients can only take oxygen in the corridors and at the entrance of hospitals. Many hospitals also suffer from insufficient oxygen.
In order to solve the problem of oxygen supply, the Nepalese government has required relevant companies to stop the production of industrial oxygen and concentrate on the production of medical oxygen. At the same time, relevant taxes and fees are reduced or exempted for companies that import oxygen.
The regional blockade, flight suspension, Nepalese government adopts a series of prevention and control measures
In order to curb the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, governments at all levels in Nepal have adopted a series of prevention and control measures.
As of the afternoon of the 4th, 45 of the 77 counties in Nepal have adopted various levels of lockdowns. The lockdown in the capital Kathmandu Valley is determined to be extended to midnight on May 12. During the lockdown period, people should stay at home as far as possible except for necessary emergencies; Buses and private cars are not allowed on the roads, and only vehicles that transport food, medicine, drinking water, and other necessities are allowed to travel.
Starting at midnight on the 3rd, Nepal stopped the operation of domestic commercial passenger flights, and at 23:59 on the 5th, the operation of major international passenger flights will also be stopped, but two round-trip flights between India and Kathmandu are allowed per week.
The sudden increase in cases may be related to the opening of borders between India
There is an open border between Nepal and India. Citizens of the two countries only need to have their respective country’s identity certificates to pass the customs. Passports and visas are not required. Therefore, the exchanges between Nepal and Indian citizens are very close. After the severe epidemic in India, some Nepalese citizens working, living, and studying in India returned to Nepal, bringing in some cases.
For a period of time, Nepal has also been an important flight transit country for countries such as the Middle East and India. Many passengers from these regions transit through Nepal to go to third countries. As the only international airport in Nepal, Tribhuvan International Airport does not have the function of a transit stop, passengers will immediately clear the customs and enter the capital of Nepal after landing, and there is no need for strict testing and isolation, resulting in a large number of imported cases.
Since late March, Nepal has also entered the festival and wedding season. Due to the weak awareness of epidemic prevention among the local people, many gatherings of religious ceremonies, festivals, and wedding parties have been held, which has also increased the chances of the spread of the virus.
