Garment factories are still open in Bangladesh during a tough COVID-induced lockdown, which has just been extended for a second week. We thought it would be appropriate for this week’s Garment Worker Diaries blog to take another look inside the factories to see what the workers have been telling us about their employers’ enforcement of safety precautions.
We also discuss garment workers’ own sense of the urgency about social distancing measures, and report on how many workers have been vaccinated so far, among other updates.
Next week, we’ll be asking more vaccine and lockdown-specific questions and we’ll share those data with you as soon as we have them.
As always, if you have any questions for us or the workers, please write to questions@workerdiaries.org
