Urging the people not to worry over the coronavirus outbreak, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said that Bangladesh has enough capability to face this viral disease.

"We have enough capability (to tackle coronavirus) and we’ll do that. There’s nothing to be worried," she said on Sunday (Mar 8).

Her remarks came while addressing an event over the International Women's Day at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium in Dhaka, reports UNB.

The government is monitoring the situation round the clock and will take immediate appropriate steps if any problem arises, said Hasina.

"All have to remain neat and clean and follow the instructions of the health ministry," the news agency quoted her saying.

The ministry is issuing instructions daily regarding the coronavirus outbreak, Hasina said before urging all to follow those.
