CoronaVirus in Bangladesh - Updates & Discussion

.
Well at least most are wearing face masks.
I exactly want that . We must not stay at home . It is not only destroying economy , but also destroying people's sanity . How long a person can stay at home without going outside ?

Use face mask , at best use hand gloves ,when return to home wash everything . If anyone got flu send them to hospital . If coronavirus is positive take them in to isolation . Bangladesh govt should have taken the steps long ago instead of half lock down. Becasue there are many infected without any symptom , so lock down is not useful!

This is the perfect solution I believe .

Yes I think now is the time to start lifting lockdown as the rate of recorded deaths has stayed at a relatively low 5-10 a day over the last 3 weeks.

BD garments, drug and electronic industries will be able to produce sufficient quantities of PPE, drugs and ventilators if the easing of the lockdowns causes too much of an increase in infections a month down the line.

The one thing I would criticise is that the government just needs to be bit stricter in discouraging crowds like seen in that video.

BD has done well so far but it must not risk too many healthy young adults passing the virus to their vulnerable parents and grandparents.

Police use a drone pilot to track people disobeying social distancing regulations in Debhata upazila of Satkhira on Wednesday morning, April 29, 2020Dhaka Tribune
'Police intend to regularly make use of the new drone technology'

Police have achieved success while using drones to monitor people's movement and make sure that they're following lockdown rules in Debhata upazila of Satkhira.

Locals were reprimanded by police on Wednesday morning for violating the social distancing regulations that have been put place to contain the spread of the new coronavirus.

Besides, tasks that deliberately put law enforcement in danger of contracting the virus such as market monitoring and enforcing social distancing measures are also possible thanks to the new drone technology.

“Police intend to regularly make use of the new drone technology to not only prevent loitering but also to monitor local markets as well as ensure social distancing,” said Debhata police station OC Biplob Kumar Saha and Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police (Debhata-circle) Sheikh Yasin Ali.

In the last 24 hours, 3 more people have tested positive for the new coronavirus, taking the total number of confirmed cases to 139 in Khulna division.

However, Satkhira recorded the first confirmed case of the deadly infectious virus in the district on Thursday.

Satkhira Civil Surgeon Dr Hussain Shafayet said: “We have so far collected 484 samples of suspected coronavirus patients from the district, all of which were sent to the Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research in Dhaka.”

Thanks to Allah that infection rate is slowly reducing . Although even the 2 deaths are very sad , still it reduced too!

Well things are looking quite optimistic for BD now that May has started:

1. "Only" 2 people died yesterday.
2. 14 recovered.
3. Ratio of positives to tests is again doing down, to now only 10% and nearly 5600 tests carried out in the last day.

@Juggernaut_Flat_Plane_V8 - Looks like your prediction of S Asia just riding over this pandemic seems to be coming true.

174 have been officially announced as recovered and another 800 Covid-19 positive patients who have no symptom of infection now are in the process of being tested and discharged

Almost 974 people have recovered from Covid-19 infection till May 1, according to DGHS.

Thus far, 174 patients have been officially announced as recovered while 800 others do not have Covid-19 symptoms any longer but have not been cleared by testing.

Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) Additional Director General (administration) Prof Nasima Sultana revealed the latest recovery figures on Friday afternoon, during the daily online bulletin on the coronavirus situation.

She also said, another 800 Covid-19 positive patients are undergoing treatment at home and hospitals, and are in the process of being discharged as they do not have any symptoms of infection present.

She further said the patients are waiting to undergo tests again to find out if they are Covid-19 free.

“We generally conduct two consecutive tests to confirm that the patient is coronavirus free. Right now, some of these 800 patients have already been tested once. Others will be tested very soon,” added the DGHS official.

Once they are found negative in two consecutive tests they will be announced as recovered, mentioned Prof Nasima Sultana in the daily briefing.

Apart from this, according to data collected from the World Health Organization (WHO), respective health ministries and reputed media outlets of eight South Asian nations, Bangladesh recorded the highest number of deaths with 163 mortalities, followed by Pakistan with 159, Afghanistan with 30, India with 7, over the first 53 days into the outbreak of Covid-19, a disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus.

Meanwhile, countries such as Maldives, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Nepal, did not record any death from Covid-19 within the 53 days of detection.
