COVID-19 Response

In 2020, the world was hit with the outbreak brought by coronavirus disease (COVID-19). With almost every country adopting measures to control the spread of COVID-19, Bangladesh, one of the world’s most densely populated areas, in South Asia has followed the same trend. Since March 2020 SHOUHARDO III suspended almost all field operations for ensuring the safety of the community and the staff.
