The residential area of the teachers under Amar Ekushey Hall of the University of Dhaka has been placed under lockdown, according to media report.

The administrative authority of that area took the decision as an elderly woman aged 70 was tested positive for coronavirus on Friday.

It is learnt that the woman is a mother-in-law of a residential teacher of the Amar Ekushey Hall, confirmed Proctor and Professor Dr A KM Golam Rabbani on Saturday.
