Four localities in Nagar District declared “Red Zones” to halt Community Spread of Coronaviruses

NAGAR: The Coronavirus District Coordination Committee in Nagar has decided to activate Mohallah Level Committees and discontinue movements between villages in order to limit local transmission of Coronavirus.

Meanwhile, Gilgit-Baltistan governments’ special committee on Coronavirus has decided to declare four areas of Nagar District – Nagar Khas, Sumayar, Pisan and Minapin – as red zones due to increased evidence of local transmissions in these area.

These areas will effectively serve as quarantines in order to restrict further spread.

GB government has decided to enforce more restrictions in order to enforce ‘home lockdown’.

Nagar is the most affected district of Gilgit-Baltistan, so far.
