Why not wear a mask? When asked, rickshaw puller Muktar said, what will happen after the mask? Corona will not attack us. Abul Kashem, a pedestrian in his sixties, said that he faces problems breathing while wearing the mask. He said he wears a mask when he sees a small crowd. Sajjad, a young man who came to the market, said that the mask was soaked with sweat so he left it open.
Although wearing a mask to prevent coronavirus infection, many people still do not comply. On Friday, the second day of the ban, the picture of different areas of the capital was the same as the first day. On weekends, entertainment centers, shopping malls and kitchen markets were crowded and passengers on public transport and transport workers did not wear masks. Many of the Musallis who came to the mosque for Friday prayers were not seen wearing masks.
On Friday, it was seen that in different areas of the capital, hygiene is not being observed even in the shopping malls. Most of the city's public transport has also been seen standing to pick up passengers. More than half of the passengers did not have masks on their faces again. Most of the people who came to Mirpur, ECB Chattar, Kuril, Mohakhali and Vashantek areas of the capital since morning did not wear face masks. Anyone who came to eat at the restaurants did not have to show the certificate of vaccination. Although there was awareness among the Musallis who came to the mosque about hygiene and wearing of masks, many did not have masks on their faces.
Why not wear a mask? When asked, rickshaw puller Muktar Ali of Manikdi area of the capital told Barta24.com, what will happen with the mask? Corona will not infect us. Why not? When asked, he said, Corona is a disease of the rich. It will not be for the poor like us.
Abul Kashem, a 60-year-old pedestrian from the Baganbari area said he stopped breathing after wearing the mask. Asked why he was walking with a mask in his hand, he told Barta24.com that he wears a mask when he sees a crowd of people. I am an old; wearing a mask makes it difficult for me to breathe.
Why are you hanging the mask around your neck? When asked, Sajjad Hossain, a young man who came to market Matikata, told Barta24.com that he was wearing a mask. But now the mask got wet while walking so I left it open.
