According to the Ministry, Moldova’s Embassy was contacted by the Moldovans in Nepal after the international flights in this country were suspended until May 31 following the imposition of additional internal measures in connection with COVID-19.

The citizens can use the Ministry’s Call Center +373 22 788 722 to inform about other Moldovans in difficulty. The Ministry recommends the Moldovans to familiarize themselves with the updated travel advisories that are published on its website on Friday. The unessential trips in the areas affected by the novel coronavirus should be avoided.
