The factories, which are producing equipments to prevent coronavirus disease and have international buying orders, can continue their operations despite shutdown of other factories.

“The government has not issued any instruction about the shutdown of the factories that are producing personal protective equipment (PPE), masks, gloves, hand wash, hand sanitiser and medicines and that have still orders from international buyers,” said Aktarul Islam, public relations officer of the Labour and Employment Ministry, on Friday, reports UNB.

“Owners can keep their factories operational complying with the health instructions issued by the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) and the Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR),” he said.

The Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments has already issued a letter in this regard to factory owners and workers’ unions, Aktarul added.
