Bangladeshi authorities have announced to extend the existing lockdown and implement stricter measures to fight the second wave of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Bangladeshi State Minister for Public Administration Farhad Hossain made the announcement Monday, saying the lockdown will remain in force from April 22 to 28.

The resurgence in COVID-19 cases since last month prompted the government to enforce the strict lockdown that began on April 14 to April 21.

"The lockdown from April 22 will be a stricter one," Hossain said.
