95pc people following govt directives: State Minister
State Minister for Shipping Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury on Saturday said it would be wrong to judge Bangladesh with the presence of a few thousand people crowding the ferry terminals.
“Ninety-five percent of the people are following the decision of the government,” he said at a views exchange meeting in Dinajpur’s Birol.
Thousands of people left the cities for their home districts before the Eid and started returning to their workplaces after the religious festival. Images of people thronging the ferry terminals flooded social media and health experts feared that the country could see a higher number of coronavirus cases in the coming days.
Meanwhile, the government has decided not to extend the general holidays, aimed at curbing the spread of coronavirus, and partially lifted restrictions, allowing offices and transports to resume on limited scale.
Health experts told UNB that the only way to keep the coronavirus situation under control is to properly follow the health directives issued by the government.
