The National COVID-19 Taskforce informs all that ๐ง๐จ lockdown is being declared in Thimphu for now.
However, a COVID-19 community case was confirmed in the capital today. He had visited the Rinchen Kuenphen flu clinic yesterday, and confirmatory test was carried out. His residential building at Kabesa and the neighbourhood were also screened today, out of which his immediate family members and two of the neighbours tested positive.
While the positive cases have been isolated, the entire cluster is cordoned off from the public.
The man has a travel history to Phuentsholing. He had completed the seven-day quarantine requirement, and as a high-risk group, he was also asked to โself-isolateโ for another seven days upon returning home. He visited the flu clinic after showing symptoms on February 15.
A woman, who travelled with him, also tested positive on antigen in Paro. A confirmatory RT-PCR test is underway at the moment. Together, over 69 contacts in Paro and Thimphu have been traced so far and are being closely monitored.

Despite numerous appeals, our streets throng with people and some are still disregarding the basic COVID-19 protocols like wearing masks. The risks are growing by the hour. As cautioned multiple times, lockdowns are imminent if situation worsens. Everyone is aware that we resort to lockdowns as the final means to break the chain of disease transmission.
No gathering of any sort is allowed across the nation for now and travels are highly discouraged.
