Police in Dhaka practice yoga as part of their morning routine. The bending, stretching and deep breathing exercises are aimed at keeping them fit and healthy amid the pandemic. While yoga has no special powers to stop people from contracting COVID-19, general good health helps those who contract the disease cope with it better.

Of Bangladesh's almost 150,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases, 10,000 have been among the police force. The Central Police Hospital in Dhaka is reserved for police officers and their family members, and has been busy treating cases. More than 40 police officers have died from the disease. A majority of policemen have recovered and have reported for duty.
