7 Day Mandatory Quarantine for UK Returnees

Health Minister Zahid Maleque on Wednesday said that 7-day institutional quarantine is mandatory for the passengers coming from the United Kingdom (UK) without coronavirus or COVID-19 negative certificates.

Later, they will stay in home-quarantine after being released from institutional quarantine, following the COVID-19 test.

The Health Minister said the measure has been taken so that new type of COVID-19 detected in the UK cannot spread in Bangladesh.

Zahid Maleque made the remark while talking to journalists at an event at Askona Quarantine Centre in Dhaka on Wednesday.
