Don’t forget Covid-19 safety protocols even after vaccination: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today renewed her call to Bangladeshis to strictly maintain health safety guidelines, even after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine.

"[You] don't think that all problems will be over after taking the Covid-19 shots. You'll have to always wear masks and follow all the health guidelines to keep yourselves protected. I hope everyone will do it," she said.

The Prime Minister made the call while addressing the Mujib Year Graduation Parade of 55th Batch Cadets of Bangladesh Marine Academy (BMA) at Chattogram through a videoconference from her official residence Gono Bhaban.

She said though the government is implementing the Covid-19 vaccination programme, all should follow the health protection guidelines, including using face masks and keeping their hands clean as these are essential.

Sheikh Hasina said her government has been making all-out efforts to ensure all types of health services for the people of Bangladesh and has taken appropriate measures to that end.

Pointing at the graduating cadets, the Prime Minister urged them to brighten the image of Bangladesh both at home and abroad by performing their responsibilities with utmost honesty, sincerity and competence in their new professional life.
