Dhaka: The Bangladesh government has extended current pandemic restrictions by another week to May 30, media reports said.

However, the government eased restrictions on long-haul buses and dine-in services of restaurants.

Public transport services may resume, but can only carry passengers to half of their capacity and must ensure all passengers wear masks, while restaurants can offer dine-in services, but limit entry to half their available seats, the Cabinet Division said in a notice on Sunday as quoted by bdnews24.

The notice also urged all to follow protocols.

The government had imposed a lockdown on Apr 5 amid rising cases.

Meanwhile, the deadly vaccines left 28 people dead in the past 24 hours.

The country also recorded 1,354 new cases.
