Take preventive measures against coronavirus
The rate at which the horrible virus COVID-19 is spreading is alarming. We have seen many countries around the world taking precautionary measures to prevent the virus from infecting their citizens. The dreadful pandemic is now everyday news, as the global death toll continues to rise with no sign of it ending any time soon.
Till now, many of the developed nations have not been able to contain the situation and the very thought of the virus spreading in Bangladesh, which I think could be inevitable, is frightening. It is perhaps only a matter of time before we too have to face it. But how will we deal with it?
Recently, during my travels, I noticed that the airport authorities in Dhaka have taken some very basic precautions and many from the now affected countries were still coming in. I urge the government and medical authorities to stay alert so that we are able to prevent the virus from spreading in our country.
