‘Painful I can’t see my daughter’: Shakib al Hasan Post Emotional Message on Facebook   

Amid Coronavirus scare and people going under self-isolation, Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib al Hasan took to social media and posted an emotional message on Facebook. As he is currently in self-isolation at a hotel in USA; he expressed his pain of not being able to meet his daughter. 

In the much talked about video, Shakib explained that he will be going on a 14-day self-isolation period to keep everyone around himself safe. "I reached the USA a few days ago, and I was a bit worried during the flight (due to Covid-19 pandemic).. But I tried to keep up with the hygiene directives and precautionary measures. After I reached the US, I headed straight to the hotel. I informed my wife and daughter that I would be staying here,” he said.   

Further expressing himself over isolation, he said; “Since I took the flight to the US, there is a risk of me carrying the virus. So, I decided to isolate myself. I didn’t even meet my daughter after coming here. It is very painful for me that I can’t see her. But I think this sacrifice is very important at the moment."

Highlighting over the effect of the virus, Bangladesh  cricketer also stated that "Those who are staying abroad, it’s important to stay indoors and avoid going outdoors. Another thing that one should be mindful is not allowing relatives or neighbours at your places. It’s important to stay at home at least in the next 14 days,” he finally added.  

Currently, there are more than 350,000 positive cases of COVID-19 across the world, with global death reaching 15,000. Watch Bangladesh cricketer's video below:
