All government, semi-government , autonomous  and private offices resumed on Sunday ending a 66-day general holiday amid spike in coronavirus cases and deaths across the country.

Public transport on river, road and rail routes across the country will resume service from Sunday, even as the coronavirus situation in terms of its penetration across the country and evidence of community-based transmission paint a far bleaker picture today than they did two months ago, around the end of March, when the lockdowns started to be imposed.
