Sports Desk: Lockdown is being given across the country for one week. Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader told media today that the seven-day lockdown will be in force from next Monday. This decision of the government is due to the deterioration of the coronavirus situation. If everything is closed in this lockdown, then the ongoing Bangabandhu Ninth Bangladesh Games will also be closed from Monday.

However, Bangladesh Olympic Association (BOA) Secretary General Syed Shahed Reza is not ready to say that right now. He is looking at government instructions.

Syed Shahed Reza wants to remain optimistic till the government orders come. Today, he said, the government has not given a lockdown now, it is thinking of giving.

But the government has announced the decision of lockdown. Recalling the matter, the BOA secretary general said, ‘Lockdown is being given, there is a difference between giving and not giving. If you give a lockdown. 80 percent of our game will be over in that day. ‘

If lockdown is given from Monday, the game will be played only tomorrow. In that case, it is not clear how 70 percent of the games ended on April 4 in the games to be held on April 1-10. There are questions about this information provided by the BOA Secretary General

Syed Syed Shahed Reza added that they will think about what can be done with the games if there is a lockdown. If the government asks to stop the games, it will be done. However, the games will continue until the lockdown. We will first see what the government says to the BOA. ‘

He has questions about the type of lockdown, “We don’t know yet whether the government is paying for the lockdown or not.” We don’t have a big gathering like that anymore. The big gathering ended at the opening ceremony. Now the games are just being played. The medical team is working. If necessary, the rest of the games can be after 7 days. Let’s see what happens. ‘
