Nepal will stop-issuing-visas on arrival until April-30 and closed all of its peaks, including Mount-Everest, this climbing season because of fears of the coronavirus pandemic, according to government-officials. Tourism-Minister Yogesh-Bhattarai said expeditions to all peaks in the March-May spring-season had been suspended over coronavirus fears. "It is as a precaution for that," Bhattarai told Reuters, when asked if the move was because of coronavirus.
