The spreading of the coronavirus has led to many countries closing down their educational institutions. It seems that once the virus enters a country, it spreads very rapidly.

Bangladesh has a huge population. Its capital is densely populated. The authorities should realise that it is better to shut down educational institutions now rather than later when the virus has already started to spread among students. I hope the government comes to that realisation.
