The government has warned that those who fail to comply with the mask mandate will be dealt with harshly by mobile courts amid an uptick in coronavirus cases in Bangladesh.

Mobile courts will penalise people found without any face covering as part of the efforts to ensure compliance with the health directive, Cabinet Secretary Khandker Anwarul Islam said on Monday.

“The issue of [wearing] masks was raised in the meeting. The commissioners said yesterday [Sunday] that they are handing out fines at large. Several thousand people were fined around the country yesterday.”
