A total of 16 restrictions have been mentioned in the notification

Global New News Desk –

A notification has been issued announcing a one-week lockdown in Bangladesh from tomorrow. There

will be a week-long lockdown across the country from Monday. Awami League General Secretary and

Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader announced the government’s decision at a press conference at his official residence in the capital on Saturday morning.

According to the notification, the lockdown will be effective from 8 am on Monday to 12 noon on April

11. After the announcement of the lockdown, a huge crowd of people has been noticed in the markets,

trains, buses and launch stations of the capital. Many are returning to the village on a seven-day holiday.

Many who came to Dhaka for work are returning to the village. However, the largest crowds have been

noticed in the capital’s daily necessities markets. This crowd is fearing a higher rate of infection.

The infection has reached such a level that

The capital’s Kavid-19

dedicated hospitals are struggling to cope with the crowds. About 98 percent of

the patients have been admitted to the hospital. It is believed that the government’s high command has

decided to lock down immediately to curb the infection.

The concerned ministries and departments were not aware of the lockdown till the announcement of the

bridge minister. Earlier, the government had declared a ‘general holiday’ from March 26 to April 4 last

year in the face of corona infection. Later, the leave was extended till May 31. As such, the first ‘lockdown’ was officially announced yesterday.

Expert opinion,

The idea of ​​many public health experts is that even if the seven-day lockdown is officially announced, it

will gradually increase. Because the issue of seven days lockdown is not scientific. So it has to increase.

In their opinion, the decision of lockdown by keeping some institutions closed and some institutions open is also not scientific.

The idea of ​​a lockdown has not diminished from the idea of ​​infection control. Rather various

mismanagement may be created. This could make the situation worse. They think that both economic and health problems can be catastrophic.

Will remain open,

Government offices and courts will remain open, but attendance will be limited: Secretaries of various

ministries and departments held an emergency virtual meeting chaired by Cabinet Secretary Khandaker

Anwarul Islam yesterday afternoon to decide what restrictions will be imposed on the lockdown. Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister Ahmed Kaikaus also attended the meeting.

The meeting has made several decisions regarding lockdown. A summary of these decisions will be

prepared and sent to the Prime Minister’s Office for approval. With the approval of the Prime Minister, it will be issued in the form of a notification.

However, the attendance of officers and employees will be less than 50 percent. You have to go to work in private car or in the vehicle of the concerned office.

from one upazila to another will be ‘strictly’ controlled. For this, bus-train and launch will be closed. All inter-district public transport will be closed.
