Ongoing restrictions remain effective till April 13

The ongoing restriction, which is scheduled to end today, will remain effective for the next two days.

Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport & Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said came up with the statement at a regular briefing at his official residence on Sunday.

After that, the country will go for a 7-day strict lockdown from April 14 to curb the spread of COVID-19.

The announcement came in a situation when confusions arise whether there is a lockdown on Monday and Tuesday.

Earlier, the government enforced a 7-day nationwide strict restriction from Monday as the coronavirus situation started worsening across the country. But they failed to ensure full implementation of health safety rules.

As a result, State Minister for Public Administration Farhad Hossain on Friday announced that a seven-day strict lockdown will be enforced across the country from April 14.
