Coronavirus outbreak: 3 families in Tangail under isolation

Local administration today enforced isolation of three families -- comprising 12 members -- at a village in Basail upazila of Tangail as one of the families took shelter in the village after recently fleeing from the area in Dhaka's Mirpur that is under lockdown.
