RMG units to remain open amid week-long Bangladesh lockdown

Bangladesh’s readymade garment (RMG) factories will be open despite the government's announcement of a week-long countrywide lockdown beginning April 5 for curbing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic's second wave, according to the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA). The units will follow all government directives.

BGMEA president Rubana Huq said social distancing will be enforced in the factories to prevent workers from being infected.
