DHAKA, April 2, 2020 (BSS) – The government today issued directives to train up 10 volunteers in each upazila for performing last rituals of deaths to avert creating panic over any death in suspicion of COVID-19 cases.
“Recently, it was noticed that people became panicked to take necessary measures for last rituals of deaths caused by some diseases. In this regard, at least 10 volunteers should be selected at local level performing last rituals,” said an order of the health ministry.
