Regarding the second wave, Sheikh Hasina said, it is not clear how much damage the virus did this time.
"But suddenly the situation became worse," she said.
"Therefore, everyone must be careful. I request you to follow the hygiene rules. Since March 29, the number of corona infections and deaths has risen sharply. It has been increasing since then. Sometimes decreasing. That is why we have taken this step. So you have to follow the hygiene rules. Must wear a mask. Social distance must be maintained. Such ceremonies including marriage should be stopped. I have decided to stop tourism," the PM warned.
She added that if you come from abroad, you have to stay in quarantine. Announced everything lockdown for a week. If you accept that, at least a little bit will come under control.
"People have become desperate since we started vaccinating," she said.
"They think nothing will happen. Everyone seems to be moving freely. We have to stop moving freely. As I have seen before, the elderly are infected. But now I see young people and even children being infected. They also need to be protected," Hasina said.
Advising everyone to be careful, she said everyone should be a little safe.
"We are taking appropriate measures in all matters of treatment, vaccination, vaccines. We have given one point vaccine. I will start the second dose. I will immediately arrange for a new vaccine," Hasina said.
