Six requirements under Bangladesh labour law that can help prevent the spread of Covid-19

As we face an upsurge of Covid-19 cases, and with the national lockdown being lifted, the need to prioritise effective preventive measures has never been greater. One common place where Covid-19 transmissions occur is the workplace, especially in industrial settings.
