Schools and universities have closed , exams and events postponed , the usual health information services are limited , socializing with friends and wider family is highly discouraged and in some places even punishable . Results imply that the government needs to ensure proper hygiene practices in public transit and non - motorized paratransit vehicles . Moreover , Information and Communication Technology ( ICT ) , pedestrian and bicycle facilities need to be improved .
People's behavior in public places and in public transport
Analyses revealed that COVID - 19 caused large variation in mode preferences but small variation in trip frequencies . Males still go outside for work and shopping , putting them at greater risk than females . COVID - 19 has drastically cut recreational trips , but not so many work trips . Although online work or education and shopping have risen , this seems to be limited to urban areas . Besides , buses continue to be preferred the most during pandemics for trips involving short - distance recreation , markets , and long - distance recreation . Results suggest the lack of online penetration in rural and suburban areas has prevented work trip reductions in those places , putting the inhabitants at heightened risk from viruses . Moreover , the majority of the people continue to use buses at the expense of their health for lack of cheaper alternatives .
No , people don't maintain social distancing during the lockdown due to Covid - 19 .
Following proper guidelines is easier said than done because of various socio - economic aspects , prevalent especially in developing countries like Bangladesh . During the lockdown due to Covid - 19 people go out randomly without maintaining social distance whereas they should keep a distance of at least 1.5 meters ( about 5 feet ) between each other .
People's behavior while moving from one place to another
during festivals During festivals , they are moving from one place to another with their whole family without maintaining social distance . They engage in behaviors such as interacting with others from outside their own household , singing , shouting , not maintaining physical distance , or not wearing masks consistently and correctly increasing the risk .
The impact of such behavior :
In this situation , if someone coughs or sneezes , they spray small droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain the virus . If we are too close , we can breathe in the droplets , including the COVID - 19 virus if the person coughing has the disease , even if they do not feel sick . The best way to fight the spread of the virus is to stay at home , be away from our friends and socialize online . If we must go outside or meet someone in person then we have to make sure to keep a distance of at least 1.5 meters ( about 5 feet ) between ourselves and anyone around .
