The governor said many Rotarians across the country would run a month-long campaign and distribute free masks to the public about the benefits of wearing masks against covid.
Governor Farooqi added that Rotary clubs around the world have been working hard to deal with the disaster since the Covid-19 epidemic began.
Rotary has already spent hundreds of millions of dollars through various activities in this sector. Apart from distributing millions of hand sanitizers and masks across the country in Bangladesh since the beginning of 2020, Rotary has continued to conduct various activities including providing PPE, grants to various hospitals, setting up oxygen banks and providing food aid to one and a half million families who have lost their jobs due to Covid.
Speakers on the occasion mentioned, “As the prevalence of Covid-19 has decreased across the country, there has been a slowdown in the adherence to hygiene among the people.” But reluctance to follow health rules can lead to big disasters for us.
