'Face mask will be mandatory before a vaccine arrives'
The next wave of Covid-19 has begun to hit several European countries. Many countries have previously announced a lockdown for the second or third time.
Although Covid-19's second wave can strike Bangladesh, too, in the wintertime, the country's health sector is ready to face it.
Health Minister Zahid Maleque on Tuesday said this during an inter-ministerial meeting on the next wave of Covid-19 at medical ministry's conference room.
However, the minister also said if persons do not follow the health rules, there may be trouble. "So to avoid the second wave of Covid-19 hitting the country, there is no alternative to following health rules now."
"As wearing a face mask is critical now, steps will be taken soon to make certain that everyone does so until a vaccine can be used in the united states."
