Radwan encourages people to wear masks, maintain distance

Radwan Mujib Siddiq, trustee of the Centre for Research and Information (CRI), has pointed out people's reluctance in wearing masks and maintaining physical distancing, and encouraged all to maintain those mandatory rules reminding them that the Covid-19 pandemic is not over yet. 

"Too many people are acting as if the pandemic is over. But it's really not," Radwan, also grandson of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, wrote on his verified Facebook account today. 

He said it is very surprising to see so many photos of people without masks, huddling together -- often indoors, at meetings, parties, conferences, family gatherings, hang-outs, etc. 

Government officials, politicians, diplomats, international organisation staff, aid workers, NGO personnel, entertainers, private sector employees - the list goes on, he mentioned. 

"The science is irrefutable when it comes to wearing masks and keeping a minimum distance away from people where possible - so why not follow it?" Radwan added.
