Lockdown exists only on paper | The Daily Star

The ongoing restrictions to curb the Covid-19 surge across the country are showing signs of failure everywhere. People in large numbers are coming out on the streets to buy commodities from shops or to have refreshments at tea-stalls in their neighbourhoods. They are going to workplaces by rickshaws and other modes of transport. In the capital, one can see almost the same old picture: large-scale movement of people, moderate traffic congestions, public gatherings at kitchen markets and even demonstrations, this time by traders and shop owners. Barring some shopping arcades and long-route transport services, the ambience outside hardly gives any indication that the weeklong restrictions are in place to check the rapid spike in Covid-19 infections and deaths.

Crucial second dose vaccine rollout begins

The government starts administering the second shot of AstraZeneca s Covid-19 vaccine today amid fast-depleting stocks and a strained supply chain. Experts say a second shot of the vaccine can ensure more consistent protection. Efficacy of the vaccine reaches 82 percent after the second dose from 76 percent after the first, according to AstraZeneca. People who got the first jab during the piloting of the inoculation campaign on January 27-28 and 31,160 others who got their first shot on February 7, the first day of the mass inoculation campaign, are likely to get their second shots today. The second dose will make more people safer, but we have to follow the health rules nevertheless, renowned virologist Prof Nazrul Islam told The Daily Star yesterday.

Experts find govt restrictions unscientific , suggest complete lockdown for 2 weeks

HALF-HEARTED LOCKDOWN UNPRODUCTIVE Talking to UNB, Prof Muzaherul Huq, a former adviser to WHO South-East Asia region, said, We can t call it a lockdown since the government has kept mills, factories, offices and even the book fair open. This is not the scientific way to restrict public movement. He said lockdown means controlling the movement of people completely. Lockdown means everything will be closed. Only some important emergency services, drugstores and certain markets from where people can buy food can remain open. Muzaherul said the seven-day restriction enforced by the government does not match with the principle and definition of lockdown. It s an unscientific, unplanned and half-hearted lockdown. It won t help the nation contain the virus transmission.
