The rate of COVID-19 infection in the district housing the world’s largest refugee camp has been rising rapidly for a week after the government ended the nationwide shutdown. Md Kamal Hossain, the district administrator, said the local committee on coronavirus prevention made the decision to lock the municipality down in an emergency meeting on Friday. Everyone must stay at home and all sorts of public and private vehicles will stay off the streets. Groceries and kitchen markets can remain open for eight hours on Sundays and Thursdays only. But pharmacies will remain open every day.
