Hurricane Amphan is coming with great speed.
When the epidemic is in full swing all over the world, a strong cyclone Amphan is coming towards Bangladesh. On the one hand, the panic of the corona virus, on the other hand, the cyclone, so people have to come to the shelters to save lives, but there is also a big danger. Coronavirus risk on the one hand, cyclones on the other.
Health experts are worried about the cyclone and coronavirus, although it will be difficult to get rid of the powerful virus if it is brought to shelters in an effort to save people from the cyclone. And if the arrangements are not made in the well-planned shelters now, it will be like a “sprinkling of salt on a cut”.
Health experts say that if people are crowded, there is a strong risk of spreading the virus. And the centers should try their best to keep the space as wide as possible to 3 feet.
But the real truth must be kept in mind that it is not possible to keep distance with so many people together, but it is impossible to keep one away from the other even if one wishes to.
The senior secretary of the ministry said meetings have been held at the district and upazila level with Deputy Commissioner Red Crescent and other organizations on the issue due to cyclone Amfan.
He added that shelters have been asked to be prepared for the cyclone and educational institutions are being prepared. And a list of who will go where is being made so that people can keep their distance.
Public health experts say people should try to maintain at least 3-4 distances and keep enough soap and medicine ready so that people can stay clean.

The buildings of local madrassas and schools need to be utilized and used as shelters. Even if it is not possible to maintain the distance. Then it will not be possible to save us from Kovid Nineteen Coronavirus.
There is a risk of more tidal surges in cyclones so we have to be careful. If the cyclone enters Bangladesh this time, the damage could be severe.
Although the epicenter of the cyclone passed over the Khulna division, it could pass through central Bangladesh. According to the Bangladesh Meteorological Office, its speed was 89 kilometers per hour and wind speed was 117 kilometers per hour.
One expert said that according to the current forecast, its speed could be 190 km per hour and later when it crosses Dhaka, it could be 130 km per hour. He added that the cyclone was slowly approaching and created about 70,000 feet of clouds.
And the formation of these high clouds indicates that the cyclone is getting stronger. In the last 6 hours, the cyclone was moving at a speed of 6 km. In the meantime, the condition of the sea has become terrible. The cyclone could be even stronger if it hits after three more days, so we need to prepare in advance and arrange for dry food and specific medicine. The government has taken a number of steps to avoid the cyclone, which could hit the coast on the night of May 19. Among them, dry food and cow food have been provided.

Instructed to use school-college and madrasa buildings if necessary and to maintain a certain distance to avoid. The district disaster management has 509 cyclone shelters ready in Barguna to deal with the cyclone.
According to the Kalapara Meteorological Office, the deep depression is expected to turn into a cyclone with an 80% chance of hitting West Bengal, India from May 19 to 20 if it continues at current speeds. It enters Bangladesh with a turn from the Indian side.
Some Indian researchers say the cyclone is expected to follow in Bulbul’s footsteps.
Meanwhile, district and disaster management officials say adequate security and social distance will be maintained at the shelters and local village police and voluntary organizations will provide round-the-clock security and protection to prevent the Kovid Nineteen Corona virus.
