In a circular on Monday, the cabinet division notified that the directives on public movement do not include the ban on leaving residences at night without urgent need. Also, there will be no bar on movement after 10pm from September 1 as it was not mentioned in the new government circular. Similarly, the government will also allow public transports to carry passengers at full capacity at regular fares from September 1, withdrawing its previous directive of carrying passengers at half capacity with 60% hiked fare. In the new circular, the cabinet division also directed concerned ministries, divisions, and authorities concerned to take necessary steps to implement safety guidelines set by the government on public movement and other activities. On Monday, Bangladesh recorded 33 more deaths from Covid-19 and 2,174 new cases in a span of 24 hours.
