Pokhara, March 10
Seventy-one Chinese workers employed in the construction of Pokhara Regional International Airport have been placed in quarantine.
The Chinese workers who had returned to Nepal between March 4 and 6 from Chengdu and Beijing after celebrating the Chinese New Year have been kept in isolation at the project site itself.
“They returned after remaining in quarantine for 14 days. Since neither we nor the workers wanted to take any chances, we decided to place them in quarantine again,” said the airport project chief Binesh Munkarmi, adding the workers’ temperature is being checked thrice a day.
“We’ve informed the Province Health Directorate about the quarantine of Chinese workers. So far everyone’s health is normal,” said Munkarmi.
Prior to this, 36 Chinese workers of the airport project were also quarantined upon their return from China.
