No alternative to mass vaccination of RMG workers: BGMEA

There is no alternative to mass vaccination of the apparel workers to keep the operation of the factories uninterrupted and protect the country's economy, BGMEA president Faruque Hassan has said.

He expressed sincere thanks and gratitude to the government for bringing the workers of the apparel industry under the Covid-19 vaccination programme, reports UNB.

Earlier, Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) requested the government to bring RMG workers under vaccination on a priority basis, considering them as frontliners who are working amid the pandemic to protect the country’s economy.

The BGMEA president requested all members and stakeholders involved to follow health safety guidelines, especially wearing mask to minimize the risk of Covid-19 transmission.
