Nepal – Lockdown lifted but suspension of flights extended

Nepal Post asks us to inform other Union member countries and their designated operators that the Government of Nepal has decided to lift the partial nationwide lockdown with effect from 22 July 2020, but is maintaining the suspension of incoming international flights until 16 August 2020. Domestic and international flights and domestic public transport services will be able to be resumed from 17 August 2020.

The measures taken to combat the global COVID-19 pandemic have had an impact on the collection, transmission and delivery of mails, and on postal services in general. Nepal Post is hopeful that it will be able to resume its international postal services soon; domestic postal services have already been partially restored since 15 June 2020.

Nepal Post thanks other Union member countries and their designated operators for their understanding and will provide further updates via EmIS.
