Our factory is closed for at least one week.
For customers of Mypashmina.co.uk, this means that bespoke orders will be delayed by at least one week. We have plenty of stock in the UK, so other orders will not be effected.
Nepal has had 2 confirmed cases of COVID-19 so far.
The borders are already closed and from today there is a shutdown for 1 week. I predict that the lock down will get extended.
The effect on the Nepalese economy is going to be devastating.
9% of GDP is from tourism, and that is already down to zero. Exports will be hit next.
Our workers will get paid for as long as we are trading.
