Shakti Foundation distributed around 5 lakh masks for free of cost through its 445 centers across the country on Saturday. Nearly 3,000 activists of the foundation made their joint efforts to spread the awareness message on the importance of wearing masks to stay safe against COVID-19 infection. The organization has been extending financial assistance to Corona-affected people and conducting an array of programs to stop the spread of the disease since the onset of the pandemic, said a media release.

Getwell Limited, a sister concern of business conglomerate Pran-RFL Group, recently organised a Covid-19 awareness campaign and distributed surgical face masks in different parts of the capital. Getwell-branded face masks were distributed among the commoners at Mohakhali Bus Stand and Gulshan with the help of the law enforcers. Getwell Brand Manager Rofiqul Islam said, "We manufacture a wide range of medical equipment. From the beginning, Getewell has been involved in various social and cultural activities. This campaign is the continuation of it."
