‘No need to go into lockdown if restrictions followed’

Health and Family Welfare Minister Zahid Maleque has said that no need to go into another lockdown if restrictions are followed properly.

He was speaking as the chief guest at the inauguration function of a city scan machine and dialysis unit at the 250-bed General Hospital in Manikganj on Saturday (January 15).

He said Corona infections are increasing alarmingly in the country. If the government-imposed 11-point restrictions are not followed properly, the situation will be terrible. We hope everyone will follow the restrictions. Then there is no need to go into another lockdown. Lockdowns make huge loss to the country. We want the wheels of our economy to keep moving.
