Just when the residents of Gomtu town in Samtse thought that things were returning to normal, a complete lockdown for two weeks came into effect beginning today. It was announced a few days after the second phase of relaxation was introduced in the town.

As per the notification from the Samtse District COVID-19 Task Force, only Gomtu town will be under a complete lockdown. Today, the town is classified as a Yellow Zone depending on the status of the COVID-19 outbreak. It reported around 265 positive cases so far and most of them have recovered.

As per the notification, offices, institutions, schools, and all shops in Gomtu town will remain closed until further notice.

Likewise, the operation of critical industries will be allowed under a strict self-containment mode with approval from the Task Force. Essential import and export will also be allowed.

Meanwhile, other nearby areas classified as green zones will remain open as per the relaxation notification issued earlier this week.

On Wednesday, the Prime Minister said, the lockdown has been imposed in view of the increasing number of COVID-19 cases from the community. Also, it will give a renewed confidence to break the chain of transmission and prepare the ground to roll out the second vaccination campaign.
