Area-based lockdown is starting

The issue of the number of corona patients identified area-wise in corona prevention and control activities through area-based lockdown has come under discussion. Considering the number of corona patients identified in the country, Dhaka division is in the first place among the departments. The department has 69 percent of corona patients in the country. Chittagong and Mymensingh

divisions are in the second and third place. Chittagong district (2998 people) is in the first position among the districts. Narayanganj (2598 people) and Dhaka (1458 people) districts are in the second and third places respectively. In terms of the number of patients in Dhaka City, the Mirpur area (whole Mirpur) is in the first place with 1124 people. Mohakhali (471 people) and Uttara (456 people) are in second and third places respectively. Besides, more than 400 corona patients have been identified in Mugda and Mohammadpur of Dhaka City, more than 300 in Jatrabari, Kakrail, and Dhanmondi and more than 200 corona patients in Magbazar, Tejgaon, Khilgaon, Rajarbagh, Lalbagh, Rampura, and Badda. According to the government's Institute of Pathology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR).

The government is going to start an area-based (zone) lockdown. The government will identify red, yellow, and green zones according to the level of risk of coronavirus infection. The most affected areas will be marked as red, the least affected areas as yellow, and the least affected or unaffected areas as green zones. The red zone will be locked down, and steps will be taken to prevent further infections in the yellow zone. There will be caution in the green zone as well. So the importance of area-based corona identification numbers has come to the fore.
