Ongoing restrictions to continue for next 2 days, says Quader

The ongoing restrictions of the first phase lockdown will continue for next two days - Monday and Tuesday to stop spread of the Coronavirus. 

Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said this while addressing a press conference at his government residence on Sunday.

To be noted, the first phase seven-day lockdown is scheduled to end today. 

However, the government decided to enforce a seven-day strict lockdown from 14 April.

Bangladesh reported 77 more deaths from the novel coronavirus on Saturday, which is the highest since the pandemic hit the country last year.
