Impact of Covid 19 into RMG sector

General information

 As indicated by the World Health Organization, Bangladesh has 308,925 claimed illnesses to
date and 4,206 people have kicked the bucket of Covid.

 On March 26, the administration originally filed a multi-day shutdown until April 4. On April 1,
the legislature reported that the shutdown would last until April 11. On April 5, 2020, the
administration again extended the continuous 'general occasion' for three more days, until April
14. On April 10, the legislature again extended the phase-out of all open and private workplaces
until April 25 to contain the spread of Covid across the nation. In accordance with this, on April
11 it was announced that all open vehicle administrations will be suspended until April 25.

 Clinics, kitchen markets, drug stores and other fundamental administrations, in any case, will
remain open.

 The administration has been requesting time and again that people stay home in an effort to
contain the spread of the infection. However, not long after the March 24 declaration, people
began to leave the capital for their homes in the city in large numbers. Some neighborhood
news sources revealed that many city occupants boarded transports and are preparing to return
home, fueling fears of a further spread of the infection across the country.

 On April 1, the legislature abandoned all open bills stamping Pahela Baishakh, the Bengali New
Year, to steer clear of mass social affairs as a component of its efforts to contain the spread of
the novel Covid. The Bengali New Year 1427 will begin on April 14.
The situation with RMG sector’s production

 Many workers returned to the capital assuming they would profit from work on April 5,
only to discover that this conclusion would last until April 12. On April 7, Trade Minister
Tipu Munshi asked production line owners to pay their March period wages to their
workers before April 16. He added: `` You (i.e. the owners) cannot terminate the work of
any workers despite the fact that factories remain closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic
in the nation. '' Garment workers deployed to 11 factories in Savar on April 12
demanding the previous month's wages, some of whom had not received the previous
month's wages, which must be paid by the tenth of the month.

 On April 10, the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association

(BGMEA) and the Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association
(BKMEA) announced in a joint statement that the ready-to-wear piece processing plants
(RMG) would remain closed until April 25.

 BGMEA has given an all-encompassing mandate to the fractional plant with

regard to reinstatement of industrial facilities. In the initial phase, starting April 26,
production line activities were to start with 30% of the workforce, encouraging the
demand for workers who live near their own factories to join. In a subsequent
phase, on May 2, in light of the completion of the following welfare and security
rules, production lines may welcome an additional 20% of the workforce.

 The rules encourage processing plants to open using at least one of the attached
strategies:

 Organize workers who live nearby;

 People who returned to cities must be weakened to return, or they will not be allowed
into the processing plant facilities until after the later stage.
 Avoid weak workers, or those who are in greater danger, for example pregnant
specialists or workers over 50 years old. The rule also refers to the fact that plants must
think about paid vacations for these workers.
 The organizing group can choose to organize the opening of the finishing area, test
segment or part of the seam at the beginning.
 The rules also detail estimates identified with social removal, use of PPE, sterilization,
hand washing, having a clinical group and a different region to survey and isolate
suspicious patients, etc.
