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.
