Meanwhile, Kushtia-Alamdanga regional road, Halsha area in Sadar upazila and Kakiladah road in Mirpur upazila were also closed, he said. Road communication from Rajbari to Shialdangi area in Khoksa upazila was also shut.
SP Arafat said vehicles and people cannot enter the district through these roads as coronavirus patients were found in Rajbari and Chuadanga. Ambulances and vehicles with emergency cases are out of the shutdown purview.
