Thanking all private organisations, NGOs for their cleanliness campaigns, Asaduzza man said, "We're holding an eye out of a cell at the home ministry on the current situation."

“If we remain alert and follow the government’s instructions to prevent the spread of the virus, Bangladesh’s situation will not be like that of the European countries,” he added.

The minister said law enforcers are vigilant so that no theft or robbery can take place.
