Impose strict measures

From all the recent reports surrounding COVID-19, it seems that Bangladesh is gradually turning into one of the badly hit countries in the world. As our population density is higher, so are the risks of getting infected. Despite the government's effort to contain the pandemic, many seem to be ignorant about the seriousness of it and are roaming around carelessly. Thus, stricter measures need to be in place.

The situation was somewhat similar here in Malaysia where I live when the news first broke. However, implementing strict lockdown measures have proven to be rather beneficial. Since many are disregarding the lockdown in Bangladesh, I believe a curfew is necessary. Nobody should be allowed to step outside unless it is an emergency. As for the poor and homeless, the government should arrange shelters for them. How difficult is it to comprehend that our safety lies in staying indoor at all times? If we don't take it seriously now, the number of infections and the death toll will inevitably skyrocket.
