Health and Family Welfare Minister Zahid Maleque on Saturday said people must follow 11-point restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
"There is no need to impose lockdown to stem the current spike of coronavirus, if 11-point restriction is strictly followed," he told the inaugural function of CT scan machine and dialysis unit at Manikganj 250-bed General Hospital here.
Referring to the yesterday's 4,378 coronavirus positive cases in a single day, the health minister said infection rate of COVID-19 is increasing sharply in Bangladesh like other countries of the world.
As per the WHO standard, Bangladesh remained well below the danger line for over three months but authorities issued a fresh alert on November 27, 2021 for Bangladesh after the outbreak of the highly contagious new South African Omicron variant.
