As the deaths and infections due to Covid-19 are surging every day, the government has decided to enforce a 'stricter lockdown' for another seven days from April 22 to 28. The decision was made at a ministerial meeting at 11 am on Monday.
"The lockdown will remain in force from April 22 to 28 with the same restrictions imposed in the previous week. It'll be a stricter one," said State Minister for Public Administra-tion Farhad Hossian told journalists.
"The National Technical Advisory Committee on Covid-19 recommended the extension of the nationwide lockdown for more seven days. Scientifically, enforcement of lockdown for at least 14 to 15 days is effective to contain corona virus infection cycle," he further said. The summary of today's decision has been sent to the Prime Minister and a gazette will be issued once it gets her approval, he said.
