Kathmandu [Nepal], Mar 29 (ANI): In order to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus Nepal on Sunday extended the suspension of international flights till April 15.
The suspension of international flights is part of the measures that Nepal has taken to contain the spread of the virus.

On March 20, Prime Minister K.P Sharma Oli announced to halt all flights from March 22 to March 31, a decision that follows a move by the High-Level Coordination Committee to halt all incoming passengers from 55 countries in Europe, the UK, the Gulf countries, West Asia, and Turkey.
