The Muslim community in Udayapur is having trouble buying essential goods after locals shops in fear of coronavirus transmission, refused to accept cash from them. Local shopkeepers are refusing to deal with people from the Muslim community said Mohammad Asin Rain, Secretary of Muslim Community Reform Committee. 

A local shop owner said that the local shopkeepers are afraid to take money from the Muslim community after hearing the news that in other countries corona infection had spread from money. He said, "We have not taken money from them, but we have given goods."
