COVID-19 AWARENESS TAKING SHAPE

The government's request to avoid public gatherings to help stem the spread of coronavirus seems to have rung a bell in people's minds. Shopping centres in Dhaka and Chattogram that never seem to go to sleep are now nearly devoid of customers. Although the precaution is a positive turn of events, questions remain over whether the government will provide any type of support for these traders. The photos were taken at, clockwise from top, Gulistan in Dhaka, Bashundhara City Shopping Mall in Dhaka and Sanmar Ocean City in Chattogram.
