The COVID-19 pandemic has potential effect on Bangladesh's ready-made garment (RMG) workers. The study describes the present vulnerability of RMG workers due to the COVID-19 pandemic based on information with direct interactions with RMG workers. RMG workers' physical and mental health and welfare have already been harmed by COVID-19, which also led to job loss. We contend that the COVID-19 pandemic will affect garment workers in the long run, particularly in terms of financial hardships and inability to pay for necessities like food, as well as future employment chances. The stakeholders involved in the global supply chain in RMG factories, such as the international retailers/brands, Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association, and the government of Bangladesh, should reevaluate the needs of the RMG employees in terms of their health and general well-being given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
