Kabul under lockdown, poor residents worried about bread

The Afghan government placed the capital Kabul under lockdown on Saturday, March 28, to control spread of the pandemic Covid-19, which so far according to official record has taken three lives in the country. A lockdown status will be put into effect for at least three weeks making Kabul the fourth province where a day-time curfew is now in place and public movement is restricted.

The day-time movements were previously restricted in Herat, Farah, and Nimroz provinces, the three cities which are adjacent to Iran.
