In Bangladesh testing positive for the corona virus carries a great stigma. Many family members and relatives of those who pass away from Covid-19 do not even attend the funerals for the fear of being infected. Al markazul islami is a volunteer team who has stepped forward in this situation and conducting funerals and burials of Covid-19 victims with dignity and love. To undertake this noble cause this team of volunteers have been keeping themselves away from their family for months and risking their lives to provide burials for people of all religions.
