Several hundreds of people took to the streets on Friday protesting against the quarantine facility and demanded the government review the decision. The decision to set up a quarantine centre for the coronavirus affected individuals in a residential area is not prudential, they said. As part of efforts to contain the spread of coronavirus, the government on Thursday authorized army to supervise two quarantine facilities, said an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement. One quarantine centre has been set up at Ashkona Hajj Camp adjacent to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, while the other at Rajuk Apartment Project at Diabari in Uttara Sector 18.
