Cabinet Secretary Khandaker Anwarul Islam made the remarks at a briefing at the Secretariat on Monday.
“The issue of the mask (at the cabinet meeting) has come up very strongly,” he said. Commissioners said yesterday that they were fining massively. Yesterday, thousands of people were fined across the country.
“It just came to our notice then. If it doesn’t work out well, then get motivated, then we’ll have to seek a slightly stronger punishment.”
When asked what kind of ‘severe’ punishment could be applied if the mask is not worn, the cabinet secretary said: “The fine can be increased. Perhaps he fined him one thousand rupees, 500 rupees and did it with five thousand rupees. We are told to go a little stronger. “
Masks will be issued to those facing mobile court fines or penalties for not wearing masks.
Anwarul said those who run the mobile courts will wear masks with them, so that people can receive them after they are fined.
The cabinet secretary said the secretary of religion and the secretary of education were present at the commissioner’s meeting on Sunday.
In the wake of the coronavirus epidemic, the government forced everyone to wear masks outside their homes in late July. Although people die every day from this deadly virus, many people still do not wear masks for various reasons.
Fines are being imposed through mobile courts across the country for several days to ensure that everyone wears masks.
The cabinet secretary said Khulna and Chittagong are going for “energetic action” to ensure the wearing of masks for all, and mobile courts were set up at 36 locations in Dhaka on Sunday.
“Even today, the Prime Minister has said: ‘Promote people more and more, force them, people must wear masks in any way.’ If you don’t wear the mask, the vaccine says, the drug says nothing will work. “
The cabinet secretary said that the health minister had told him at the cabinet meeting that the coronavirus was spreading more in the Dhaka division but not as much outside the capital.
“Because we are looking at the condition of the hospital, the number of patients in the hospital has increased. It seems to have grown a bit more.”
After reporting that the list of infections is not available because Covid-19 is not being tested in many places, the cabinet secretary said: “There are no PCR machines everywhere. Where there were 300 patients in the medical school 15 days ago, yesterday they have become 800.
