Pashmina Factory Partially Re-opens

A little good news with regards to the production of pashminas.

The pashmina factory in Kathmandu has re-opened yesterday.

The Maoist government of Nepal has finally lifted some of the insane restrictions on businesses.

However only 9 of the 70 employees have managed to get to work. 

The rest are stuck in their home towns and villages due to the government restrictions.

They will come back to work as soon as they are allowed and are able to get there.

Some context on COVID-19 in Nepal

So far there have been 75 positive identifications of COVID-19 in Nepal (population 28million)

Either the Nepalese government have been incredibly successful in squashing the virus, or they have lifted restrictions before the virus has really got going, or maybe the restrictions were pointless harm.
