Many shop owners and customers were seen with their masks down.
At entry points of some markets, antiseptic mix was sprayed instead of sanitisers. Besides, there was not enough space inside most of the shops to maintain physical distancing.

Heavy traffic congestion was seen in front of New Market and Bashundhara City Mall.
In comparison to yesterday, the number of customers increased, said the shop owners at New Market and Noor Mansion. They think that the crowds will get bigger once public transport resumes.
People were seen traveling in private cars, rickshaws, three-wheelers, and even pickup trucks.
