Press Release - Grameen Telecom (03 May 2020)
Grameen Telecom will provide 1 million cloth masks, free of cost, to underprivileged people who are unable to afford masks.
72,000 pieces of masks have already been distributed through various organizations so far.
According to various international research and announcements by the Health Ministry coronavirus transmission can be significantly reduced by using masks made of cloth, especially those with knit fabrics.
Grameen Telecom has taken the initiative to reach out to the difficult-to-reach population and those who cannot afford to buy these masks.
As research shows, an infected person may spread the virus by sneezing, coughing and even by talking to others. These two-layer masks made of knit fabrics can prevent the corona virus from spreading. If everyone uses a mask, the coronavirus transmission may be greatly reduced.
These non-medical masks are being produced in the factory of Grameen Fabrics and Fashions Ltd. So far 2 lakh 5 thousand pieces of masks have been produced. From now on, 2 lakh pieces of masks will be produced every week.
Individuals and organizations interested in acquiring masks for distribution at their own initiative can reach out through email at info@grameentelecom.net.bd.
