After our earlier update from India, here's the latest from the rest of the region:
Cases continue to soar in Pakistan, the region's worst-affected country, as authorities confirm more than 1,500 infections. But the country's top health official said the situation was "under control" over the weekend, just as China sent a plane loaded with medical personnel and supplies to help
On Saturday, Sri Lanka recorded its first death from Covid-19. The island nation has confirmed 113 cases so far and a strict - in some districts, indefinite - curfew remains in place across the country
In Nepal, the virus seems to be spreading more slowly than in other parts of the region - the country confirmed its fourth case over the weekend after a 34-year-old man travelled back from the UAE. Officials also took action against more than 2,000 people in Kathmandu Valley for defying the nation-wide lockdown
The Bangladesh army said its troops would continue its street campaign against Covid-19 and would enforce social distancing until the government orders them back to barracks. The country has confirmed 48 cases so far and five deaths.
