The government of Bangladesh extended the shutdown of offices and workplaces until April 11 and will add on the following two-day weekend, amid fears over a coronavirus outbreak.

However, covered vans, trucks, and vehicles carrying medicine, fuel, and perishable items appear to continue to be exempt from the lockdown, according to an earlier announcement from Obaidul Quader, Minister of Road, Transport and Bridges.

 

The overall situation remains very fluid. Contact your local Expeditors representative for more information and operational assistance.
