Four Cumilla city wards in lockdown
Four wards of Cumilla City Corporation have been put in a 14-day lockdown to slow down coronavirus outbreak.
The District Administration issued a circular yesterday, to impose the order that effected from midnight.
The circular, signed by Deputy Commissioner Abul Fazal Mir, mentions that ward-3, 10, 12 and 13 will be under the lockdown purview. It also shows instructions on how to follow the order during the period.
The district disaster management committee took the decision on Tuesday in a meeting at Cumilla Deputy Commissioner's office, considering the intensity of Covid-19 infection, he added.
Any movement will be strictly restricted in the areas. All commercial buildings like shopping malls and markets will remain closed.
As the city has different commercial and business centres including Cumilla Export Processing Zone, the district administration made it mandatory to carry ID cards during the restriction. A factory employee can enter or exit only for single time in a day by showing ID cards.
In addition, banks and necessary commercial institutes can perform limited operations with prior permission from the authorities.
Teams of volunteers with public representatives and law enforcing agencies will be active during the lockdown period.
