According to News the number of corona patients has been increasing in Bangladesh for the last one week, so the number of diagnoses is exceeding the previous highest number every day.

 Another 50 people have died in the last 24 hours.

 Earlier, the government issued 18-point directives to prevent corona virus infection.

 Meanwhile, all tourist centers in the country have been directed to remain closed till April 14.

 Due to corona virus, lockdown has been going on in Bangladesh for more than three months last year.  However, the government called the lockdown, which began on March 26, 2020, a "general holiday."

 Until the  National 'lockdown' was carried out across the country, the affected houses, districts and upazilas etc. were locked down.

 As of April 18, 2020, 29 districts of the country were completely and 19 districts were partially locked down.

 Although there were no 'lockdowns' across the country like in other countries, there were restrictions on free movement across the country without much urgency.

 The government had issued a notification announcing to take legal action if people go out from 6 pm to 6 am across the country.

 At the same time, the administration imposed strictures to stop the movement from one area to another.
