How is the culturally “alien” concept of social/physical distancing faring in the peri-urban areas of Bangladesh? The government instruction for social/physical distancing first came to the communities directly from outside, ie mainly from the central government, as a top-down process; people learnt it mainly through TV and later from police and officials who were trying to enforce it. It was not communicated to the community by the local representatives or community leaders, at least not in the beginning, and the instructions had to be implemented immediately.
