Lockdown again if virus cases surge, state minister says

The government will impose lockdown measures again if coronavirus cases jump across Bangladesh, said State Minister for Public Administration Farhad Hossain.

“We’ll go for two strategies. One is to reimpose the lockdown and the other is to reopen everything and make sure everybody wears a mask,” Hossain told reporters in Dhaka on Thursday.

“Any country around the world experiencing an uptick in the coronavirus cases has imposed a lockdown. Australia has deployed the army and also imposed a curfew. The US also imposed restrictions. Why? Because there’s no alternative to it,” he said, reports bdnews24.com.
