Covid-19 health norms go for a toss as people flock to countryside

Dhaka, July 19: Ignoring the fear of death, people are leaving the capital and flocking to the villages on the occasion of the holy Eid-ul-Azha. The government has normalized everything to make it easier for homebound people to return home after a two-week strict lockdown imposed to prevent coronavirus infection. The lockdown has been relaxed from 6 am on July 15 to 6 am on July 23. However, everyone has been urged to adhere to hygiene and social distance during the journey.
