The Rasuwagadhi-Kerung border point between Nepal and China reopened on
Thursday after it remained closed for around three weeks due to the
Covid-19 pandemic, a senior customs official said here.
The
border point, which is one of the key trade routes between the two
country, was closed after a Nepali worker tested positive for the novel
coronavirus, reports Xinhua news agency.
Earlier, it reopened in
early July after it was closed for nearly six months firstly due to
snowfall in the bordering Chinese region and later because of the
Covid-19 outbreak.
"Two containers of medical goods entered into
Nepal after the reopening of border point on Wednesday," senior customs
officer at Rasuwagadhi, Punya Bikram Khadka told Xinhua.
"Now, we hope the movement of goods will take place normally."
According
to the officer, there has been a restricted flow of goods through this
border as both countries have adopted zero human-to-human contact policy
between the two sides until the pandemic is over.
The
Tatopani-Zhangmu, another border point, which reopened in late March
after closing in January, has also remained shut for the last few
months.
