On January 15, 2022, the Government of Bhutan imposed a “24 hours blackout” followed by a lockdown in 14 districts after a suspected COVID-19 positive case at Punatsangchhu project in Wangduephodrang.

On the auspicious day of July 26, Bhutan held the second nationwide vaccination campaign. More than 95% of the eligible population (65.5% of the total population) are now fully vaccinated in Bhutan, making it one of the countries with the highest vaccination rates. 

95% of the people opted for the heterologous vaccines (AstraZeneca vaccine for the first shot and Moderna vaccine for the second shot), while 5% opted for the homologous AstraZeneca vaccine for both shots. 

More than 38,000 children aged 12 - 17 years old have received their first dose of vaccines. Home-based vaccination was carried out for people who have mobility issues and those living in hard-to-reach areas.

As of 5th July, Bhutan has 2,133 positive cases with 1,820 recovered. Bhutan is currently preparing for the second nationwide vaccination drive.

The government of Bhutan is confident that it will be able to inoculate the eligible population soon. 

Bhutan is also hopeful of lifting tourism restrictions after the second vaccination drive. The Tourism Council of Bhutan (TCB) is hopeful that by October 2021, the kingdom will be able to receive some visitors.

June 2021 Updates
As of 1st June, Bhutan has 1620 positive cases with 1308 recovered. There are community outbreaks in the border areas, mainly in Phuntsholing, Samdrup Jongkhar and Trashigang districts. The government has been swift in contact tracing and ring-fencing the cases. Lockdowns were implemented in the red zones to curb further transmission. Right now, Bhutan is still well under control. 

In view of the COVID-19 spike and situation in India, Bhutan has reached out to 15 other countries for assistance with the second dose vaccines. On June 1, 2021, Foreign Minister Dr Tandi Dorji shared that there are high chances of allowing few tourists to enter Bhutan after the second dose vaccination program.

On May 11, 2021, Prime Minister Dr Lotay Tshering went on LIVE interview with CNN International (First Move with Julia Chatterley) to share about Bhutan's COVID-19 handling


UPDATES ON BHUTAN COVID-19 RESPONSE (7 April 2021)

Bhutan has one of the highest percentage of vaccinated persons by population.

UPDATES ON BHUTAN COVID-19 RESPONSE (24 March 2021)
The government of Bhutan aims to vaccinate the entire Bhutanese population beginning from March 27. Upon the nationwide vaccination program, it is hopeful that Bhutan will slowly ease into reopening for tourism this year. The government is progressively updating on the situation.

UPDATES ON BHUTAN COVID-19 RESPONSE (22 March 2021)
On 22 March 2021, Bhutan received the second consignment of 400,000 doses of Covishield from India. The Kingdom is currently preparing for the nationwide vaccination rollout that is set to begin on 27 March 2021. 

(As at 20 January 2021)
On 20 January 2021, Bhutan became the first country to receive a consignment of 150,000 doses of Covidshield vaccines from neighbouring India. It is a gift from India to its South Asian counterpart, just four days after India’s own massive roll out of the vaccine. An AN32 glided its way into the Paro International Valley and was received by Prime Minister Dr Lotay Tshering, the health minister Dechen Wangmo, Foreign secretary Kinga Singye and a few other senior officials.

Representing the friendly neighbour was the Ambassador of India to Bhutan, Her Excellency Ruchira Kamboj and the embassy officials who handed over the vaccines the Oxford-Astra Zeneca vaccine, manufactured by the Serum Institute of India. 

The Indian government has assured to cover the two doses requirement of Bhutan's target population of slightly over 533,500 and has committed to deliver the remaining consignments soon.  

The country has begun to ease the lockdown in the various districts and continues to monitor the pandemic situation within the Kingdom.

UPDATES : 23 DECEMBER 2020 - NATIONWIDE LOCKDOWN

On 22 December 2020, the government announced for a seven day nationwide lockdown upon detection that several close contacts linked to the 25-year-old were tested positive. Designated shops will be allowed to open only after the shop personnel are tested and found to be negative. The public is requested to follow all other COVID Safety and Zoning protocols when coming out of their houses.

Meanwhile, relevant agencies will ensure that there are no disruptions in supply of goods, vegetables and other essential items, including animal feed, within the country. Government will also facilitate and ensure minimum disruption in import and export of all goods. 

The lockdown across the nation will enable the government to control the spread of the disease and also discern the extent of transmission in the communities. 

20 DECEMBER 2020 - LOCKDOWN IN THIMPHU AND PART OF TRONGSA

In the morning of 20th December 2020, the government of Bhutan has implemented a complete lockdown in the capital city of Thimphu and peripheral areas of Debsi, RTC area, Gangchey, Nyezergang in the south, Kabesa, Begana and Changtagang in the north. Until further notice, all shops, offices, schools and institutions in the Thimphu Super Zone must remain closed.

During the lockdown period, there will be no delivery of essentials. Depending on the surveillance outcome, the zone wise relaxations and essential supplies will be carried out in the coming days. All inter-district travel of both vehicles and people will be stopped with immediate effect. Essential movements and exit of export materials will be facilitated with close monitoring of Royal Bhutan Police. This is the second lockdown implemented in the Kingdom of Bhutan. 

The announcement came after a 25-year-old who visited the flu clinic at the National Referral Hospital in Thimphu was tested positive for COVID-19. Since then, the health ministry has been conducting intensive contact tracing to test all possible contacts. Close to 400 samples have been collected within the past three days. 

REPATRIATION OF BHUTANESE DURING COVID-19

Even though tourism is currently on halt, Drukair has been actively working closely with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in Bhutan to coordinate for repatriation flights. Thus far, we have assisted in four repatriation flights on 15 April, 17 June, 29 June, 27 July and 22 August, 3 October for Bhutanese residing in various countries such as Australia, Malaysia, Japan, London, France, Italy, Poland, Macau, Germany, Canada, New York and the Philippines. 

Aside from ensuring that these Bhutanese return home safely, these flights also act as cargo flights that send essential medical supplies to Bhutan

Should any Bhutanese residing overseas require any assistance in repatriation, you can send an email to homecoming@drukair.com.sg

COVID-19 SITUATION IN BHUTAN - FIRST NATIONWIDE LOCKDOWN

The Bhutan government has imposed a nationwide lockdown following a report of a COVID-19 positive case outside the quarantine center in Gelephu since Aug 11. There was also a cluster of positive cases from a mini dry port quarantine facility in Phuntsholing town, a commercial hub in southern Bhutan. Many initiatives have been undertaken to further curb the community transmission of the virus.

As of August 31, 2020, there are 195 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Bhutan. Majority of the cases are imported cases from Bhutanese returning to the country and are detected during the quarantine period upon testing. Of the 195 cases, 135 have recovered and been discharged. There is currently no community widespread and zero COVID-19 mortality in Bhutan. Bhutan takes the safety of its people very seriously with His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck at the forefront personally seeing through the national preparedness measures. There is a mandatory 21-day quarantine for all Bhutanese who return to the country. All the citizens will be isolated in the designated quarantine facilities where meals are provided and tests are conducted regularly.

From July 1 2020 to August 11 2020, Bhutan has transitioned from Orange zone to Phase 1 reopening. Schools have resumed for most of the classes and all students are required to wear masks. While all parks and public spaces will reopen, huge gatherings of crowds including tournaments and spectators will still be prohibited. Wearing of face masks is required at all gatherings and safe distancing protocols are to be followed.

Upon the detection of the first COVID-19 case in Bhutan on March 5, 2020, Bhutan government has initially imposed a two-week ban for all incoming tourists into the country. The government has further extended the travel restriction until further notice in view of the escalating COVID-19 situation in some countries.
