Strict lockdown conditions persist in Bangladesh for the third week in a row in order to halt the spread of COVID-19. Last week, we asked garment workers to give us an update on the situation, and this week we wrote a blog on it.
We asked workers about COVID-19 symptoms they might have been experiencing and whether they know of any co-workers who’ve fallen ill. We also asked them about their vaccine eligibility, whether or not they’d know how to get one and even if they knew how and were eligible, if they’d want to.
We also asked them about their public movement and work commutes, because the lockdown conditions have been meant to limit movement outside the home.
Thanks for staying up to date with the project and the workers, and hopefully we’ll come out of this soon.
As always, if you have any questions for us or the workers, please write to questions@workerdiaries.org
