People queue up for Covid-19 testing without maintaining social distancing outside the capital’s Mugda General Hospital around 8:20am yesterday. Those standing at the front of the queue reached there as early as 6:00am as the hospital would test only 200 for the day. With the country recently seeing a spike in the number of novel coronavirus cases, such lines at testing facilities are getting longer. Photo: Anisur Rahman

Workers of Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban were yesterday seen huddled up to buy milk from the government dairy farm at the subsidised rate of Tk 50 per kg. But to avail such an opportunity, they put their lives at risk, as all ignored the danger of Covid-19 by disregarding social distancing. Photo: Rashed Shumon
