Most of the people are in a daring to died but the pakistani Prime Minister said that they were bringing a very difficult situation if they were to come down and curfew would be city of that situation escalates but for the moment everybody to stay at home and people are taking it seriously. In the initial stages kemal the also the north south divide we had cases in kharaj but that has spread as you say to a slum about up in the north and to hold to the east in terms of where the hot spots around the country just sort of paint the picture for us. 1st of all the war days have been days and this is something that had been coming out from day advisor to the Prime Minister on head over 70 percent of the 19 detected in august on. Graemes coming back from iraq. Tens of thousands of shia muslims go to. The holy shrines and that of course became the primary. 19 and. Shane being the hard days paid. 400.

Weve seen this lockdown end but it hasnt be like a mass exodus from the province far from it the government has said that they would like to see an orderly easing of this lockdown and that has caused a lot of confusion on the ground as far as we can tell bus stations train stations and most airports remain closed its still not possible for the public to buy tickets weve been told there was slowly resuming operations though at the moment the or only way to leave the provinces on a chartered bus or train taking workers out of the province to a and in an employer someone else in the country but you must apply to get on those chartered buses and trains and you have to of course prove that you have a Green Health Codes certifying that you are virus free what people can do now is get in their cars and drive around the province now this was banned during the lock down so they are able to drive within who pay but as well if they want to drive outside the province they also have to love the details of an employer and they must prove that they have somebody waiting to receive them at their destination we have to remember that still that theres still a great deal of fear in china about this outbreak yes domestic transmissions do seem to be under control but people are very afraid about a 2nd wave of infections possibly being sparked by asymptomatic patients that is people who do not show any symptoms but are potentially silent carriers of the virus now a province is home to millions of Migrant Workers that is they are from group a but they live and work elsewhere in the country and they are very afraid that theyre going to be discriminated against when they try to return to their normal lives u.

A lockdown in bangladesh is affecting close to 1000000. Refugees living in crowded conditions in dozens of terms across coxs bazaar no gatherings even for prayers are allowed aid agencies have also been instructed to stop all activities there are no reported cases in the camps and nationwide lockdown came into effect on tuesday and will continue until april of fall john quigley is a human rights specialist at 45 rights focused on the region gay joins me now via skype from bangkok good to have you with us live on aljazeera has to quickly i mean how concerned are you that with neighboring countries reporting covert 19 that this group of vulnerable and need immediate help yeah thank you for having me. A refugee population in bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable to a potential 19 outbreak medical facilities in the camps are already stretched very thin and resources from humanitarian actors are structured then so an outbreak in the camps would be a very dangerous its very overcrowded and there is no way that refugee populations are People Living in informal settlements are able to do what they call social distancing to be able to kind of ease the curve of the virus so were quite worried about the situation in the camps i mean there are many refugee camps worldwide that we discussed on this International News channel a huge number of them but this is obviously the largest grouping there i mean how can their plight you might say be lessened in the short or long term while covert 19 continues to be a threat i mean you touched on it just slightly in the your 1st answer. Yeah i believe Dhaka Bangladesh the government should lift ongoing internet restrictions that are happening in the camps right now they put in internet communication restrictions last september and those are still ongoing so for refugees able to access information about the spread of the coronavirus in the camps and to know about best practices on hygiene and other related Health Issues the restrictions on communications need to stop the International Humanitarian community is working very hard to be able to disseminate information in the camps but thats made quite difficult when theyre not able to access peoples phones because the government has blocked 3 g. And 4 g. Internet the mobile mobile phone operators there thats certainly the logical side of things the government to bangladesh would say that theyve been doing and continue to do what they can all the humanitarian level i mean what would you like to see one of the worlds poorest countries do for one of the worlds poorest refugee groups. Yeah demolish the government has done an amazing job welcoming in over a 1000000 people that fled genocidal violence back in 2016017 but they can do more they can allow or hinder refugees to. Be able to Access Medical services in a nondiscriminatory way just like a regular bangladeshi population and like i said before they should immediately lift the internet restrictions so that refugees have information and are able to inform themselves about how to mitigate the risk of a chronic virus spread in the camps there is Many Civil Society groups that are working very hard to try to get the information out in the refugee camps and the humanitarian community is stretched then so the mom actually government can put more resources there they can put the right into refugees in more of a meaningful way and their National Strategy that theyve implemented this march so theres other things that they got the government can do which is the what does happen for the moment john quincy from 45 writes thanks for joining us from bangkok thank you for your time thank you so much.
