Local monitoring for home-quarantine strengthened as corona scare grows
In an effort to prevent the further spread of coronavirus, local administrations have beefed up monitoring across the country to make sure that those returned from abroad follow home-quarantine rules.
In Madaripur, a complete shutdown has been enforced in Shibchar municipality and three unions of Shibchar upazila to contain the virus which is ravaging the entire world.
All the entrances and exits of the municipality and Panchhar, Baheratal and Natun Bahertala unions have been closed. Most shops in the municipality were closed.
Deputy Inspector General (Dhaka Range) of police Nure Alam Mina revealed the information at a press conference at Shibchar Police Station on Friday afternoon.
He said all the residents of the areas have been asked to stay indoors. “They’ve been asked to call us if they need anything and police will deliver those to their doorsteps with the assistance of local representatives,” he said.
The DIG also said a committee has been formed with local representatives in every area to ensure that those returned from abroad remain in mandatory home-quarantine.
