China is going to create a “line of separation” at the top of Mount Everest. In view to control the spread of coronavirus new variant it will set apart climbers from the Chinese side from those from Nepal’s side.

To make this line of separation idea come true a team of Tibetan mountaineering guides will create the separation line at the world’s highest mountain peak before the climbers reach the top, Chinese state-owned Xinhua News Agency. However, it’s unclear what will the line be made of. The climbers ascending the north side of the mountain from China will be prohibited from crossing the line to avoid contact with anyone from the south or the Nepalese side. Last year, the two countries had suspended the climbing season owing to the threat posed by the pandemic. But in view of the surge in new coronavirus cases in Nepal and also the declining number of cases in China, the latter is looking to take special measures to prevent contact. Nepal officials refused to comment on the Everest outbreak. Ang Tshering Sherpa, a mountaineering expert, said it was just not possible to draw any kind of separation on the Everest summit.

He said that it’snot possible to create such separation. Climbers would be wearing thick layers of clothing and gear and their faces would be covered with oxygen masks, glasses and protection from the freezing air.
