Urging the government to speed up repelling measures, a group of experts on Thursday said Bangladesh is in urgent need of smarter, well-targeted strategies to ensure that coronavirus hotspots are isolated and community transmissions are reduced. The multinational team, consisting of African and South Asian delegates, recognised that an all-out blanket lockdown may not be an optimal option. They were speaking at an online seminar titled “Smart containment strategies for COVID-19 in Bangladesh” arranged by International Growth Centre (IGC) with support from BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD).
