Police action against Corona starts from March 21: IGP

News Desk: Inspector General of Police (IGP) said. Benazir Ahmed said the incidence of coronavirus was low until last month but has increased since March. We have to strictly adhere to hygiene rules. He urged people not to leave the house without masks.

He was speaking at a national police initiative against the Covid-19 second phase at the Rajarbagh Police Auditorium on Thursday (March 18th) morning.

The IGP said the masking campaign is going to start on March 21 at the initiative of the Bangladesh Police. The slogan of the police operation is 'Mask wearing habit, covid free Bangladesh.' Dr. Benazir Ahmed said February was the least affected in the last year.

In March, there was an upward trend again. So far 4.7 million people have been vaccinated, but this is the first dose. Corona cannot be prevented in one dose, it takes two doses. Corona cannot be stopped by negligence and contempt. "Everyone has to follow strict hygiene rules," he said.

Masks should be worn, hands should be washed repeatedly with soap, hand sanitizer should be kept if necessary. If you go to a public place or a risky place, you have to return home from there, take off your clothes and wash with hot water.

Will people be forced to wear masks in the current context? Responding to a question from reporters, the IGP said, "We are not saying 'compulsory'." We want to inspire them to wear masks with motivation and motivation. Moreover, why should be encouraged to wear a mask? I hope people will wear masks for themselves and their families out of a sense of responsibility. The police allowed various political events, including Waz mahfil.

Will permission be stopped due to corona? Responding to a question from reporters, the IGP said the issue of permission depends on the situation. We have to strictly follow the hygiene rules in every ceremony even if we give permission. However, he also commented that it would be difficult to control the upward trend of the Corona situation if one wanders around without a mask.

He appealed to the people of the country to abide by the rules of hygiene in Corona. You have to wear a mask when you go out. Hygiene rules must be strictly adhered to.

The IGP further said that in dealing with Corona, the police have worked shoulder to shoulder with the people at risk. Police members buried the body. Delivered food. So far, six members of the police have died in Corona. More than 20,000 members have been affected.
