Bangladesh is set to enter the toughest lockdown enforced till now in a bid to control the alarming Covid-19 situation after logging the highest number of single-day fatalities and cases in two consecutive days.
During this lockdown, people will not be allowed to leave their houses except for emergencies and on top of that no movement passes will be issued like the last time, according to the decision taken at the Cabinet meeting on Monday.
At the meeting, the Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina instructed the authorities to provide food and cash aid to temporary jobless people, including transport workers and the floating population during this strict lockdown.
