The Bangladesh Cricket Board medical team has urged its player for not giving relief goods in direct contact with the public.
Mashrafe Mortaza and Nazmul Hossain Apu has been infected with coronavirus and both have been pretty active is giving relief to the public
BCB’s chief physician Dr. Debashish Chowdhury felt the urgency of the guidelines in the wake of these players being infected by the Novel Coronavirus which created mayhem around the world.

‘’One and only advice for the players is: stay home and don’t get out from the home unless it is badly necessary,” BCB chief physician Dr. Devashis Chowdhury told the reporters.
“Mashrafe’s matter is totally different. He is not only a player but also a honorable lawmaker. So as a lawmaker he needed to go to his constituency for giving relief materials for the people. But for the rest of the players, it is not necessary to help people in person,” he added.
Debashish Chowdhury has requested the players to use different channels to reach out in giving aid to the public
“Some senior cricketers like Mushfiqur Rahim, Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah Riyad are also aiding people but they are doing it through different channel. I will urge all the players to support the people not in person but through other channel,” he added.
However, Devashis Chowdhury said there is nothing to be worried with the COVID-19 infection since 80 percent of the people are getting well by taking treatment at home.
“80 percent of the infected people got well by taking treatment from home. The rest of the 20 percent people’s condition got serious. So there is nothing to be worried. What, we should do is to stay home. We have to be careful and follow the health rules,” he remarked.
