‘Refrain from gathering outside’

The Police Headquarters on Monday urged people to stay indoors and refrain from gathering or chatting at tea stalls obeying the government's instruction of social distancing to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

The Police Headquarters gave the instruction as some people are still gathering at paras and mohollas and chatting at tea stalls, reports UNB.

"Police have been working to make sure that people stay at home. Though very limited people are seen on the main roads, still many people are chatting at tea stalls and gathering  at paras and mahallas," said Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) of Police Headquarters (Media) Md Sohel Rana.

Police are enforcing law against the violators  of rules but they reassemble when police leave the spot which is a matter of grave concern, and for this there is a  high possibility of spreading coronavirus now," he said.

“You must maintain social distancing following the government’s instruction. Stay at home and don't gather outside ,” Sohel Rana said.
