As the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is continuing to claim more lives and increasing the number of infected-people in the capital Dhaka, Naryanganj and Gazipur districts, experts have rightly suggested imposing curfew in these areas. With the COVID-19 pandemic expanding its lethal grip all over the country, Gazipur and Naryanganj districts have emerged as three new hotspots of the deadly disease.
There is no denying that that we have been very reluctant in our response to the pandemic. But now that this critical juncture where infection rates are increasing along with causalities, we must take drastic measures to prevent the spread as much as possible.
We are heading towards a ‘peak transmission’ and in order to quell the spread of coronavirus local administrations must take harsh steps to make people stay at home.

It is worrying to note that despite the government announced lockdowns for the entire country, still in many places people are not maintaining social distancing. Every day, hundreds of people gather at local bazaars, which are believed to be the hotspots of spreading and contracting the virus.
In this critical situation, common people must abide by government orders issued to slowdown the spread of coronavirus. We must be persuaded to stay home, and a system should be put in place to track down and isolate the infected and take care of them outside the home.
People across the country should take the deadly disease seriously and take more precautions because even developed nations like the US are not able to stop the spread of the disease despite having the best of resources and technology.
