Public transport services may resume, but can only carry passengers to half of their capacity and must ensure all passengers wear masks, while restaurants can offer dine-in services, but limit entry to half their available seats, the Cabinet Division said in a notice on Sunday as quoted by bdnews24.
The notice also urged all to follow protocols.
The government had imposed a lockdown on Apr 5 amid rising cases.
Meanwhile, the deadly vaccines left 28 people dead in the past 24 hours.
The country also recorded 1,354 new cases.
