Wear facemasks, wash hands even after taking Covid-19 vaccine: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today called upon all to wear facemasks and wash hands even after taking the Covid-19 vaccine, reports BSS.

“All will have to continue wearing masks and washing hands. Even the vaccinated people have to follow the same. Don’t think you are safe as you have already taken vaccine. We have to be careful,” she said.

Presiding over the weekly cabinet meeting virtually from her official Ganabhaban residence in the capital, the premier said that she has already given an instruction to pursue the health guidelines properly.

In this connection, she said she has already instructed the concerned ministry regarding nationwide vaccination.

The prime minister said there are some confusions among the village people about the vaccine which, she hope, will go away soon.

Sheikh Hasina said her government will give the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine within one and a half months despite the effectiveness of the vaccine remain for even two or three months.
