Bangladesh has registered seven more deaths from the coronavirus over a 24-hour period, taking the body count past 200, in a grim milestone, within two months of reporting its first COVID-19 cases.





The tally of infections surged to 13,134 in the 24 hours to 8 am Friday after another 709 people tested positive from 5,941 samples, DGHS Additional Director General Nasima Sultana said in a media briefing on Friday.

The death toll from the virus currently stands at 206, according to government data.

The recovery count also rose to 2,101 after 191 more patients were discharged from hospitals in the last 24 hours, said Nasima.

A total of 5,941 samples were tested at 35 authorised laboratories across the country in the same period, she added.


Globally, over 3.85 million people have been infected with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, and more than 269,000 have died, according to a tally by the Johns Hopkins University.


Infections have been reported in more than 210 countries and territories since the first cases were identified in China in December 2019.

And just fell again today down to 7, although every death is tragic.

Like I say BD has more freedom to open up a little now with relatively low numbers of deaths.

I hope more test will be performed everyday with slow lifting lockdown . IMHO we should invest on medical services instead of lock down and feeding idle people . But I see that test is not increasing . I want more test per day !

However they say the nature of coronavirus in Bangladesh . And yes lungs i infection is lesser so I think people will not have in too much trouble !

Testing and tracking capacity needs to be increased massively to keep the virus at bay.

Highest 887 cases recorded in 24 hours

Bangladesh has recorded the second highest coronavirus deaths in a single day as 14 more people have died of the deadly disease in the last 24 hours.

With the latest figure, the number of total fatalities rose to 228.

Besides, the confirmed cases from coronavirus infection have surpassed the 14,000-mark in Bangladesh as the country recorded the highest single day cases with 887 more people tested positive in the past 24 hours.

With this, the number of total confirmed cases jumped to 14,657.

Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) Additional Director General (Administration) Prof Nasima Sultana revealed the latest figures in a daily online bulletin on Covid-19 situation from Dhaka on Sunday afternoon.

She said, among the 14 deceased, 10 were men and four women.

On May 8, the deaths from coronavirus infection crossed the 200-mark in Bangladesh, just three weeks after the country witnessed the 100-mark in fatalities.

Bangladesh recorded its first fatality on March 18 and crossed its 100-mark on April 20.

On April 17, the country recorded the highest deaths (15) from the pandemic announced by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The DGHS official said as many as 5,642 samples were collected in the last 24 hours while 5,738 were tested in 36 laboratories across the country.

In the briefing, Prof Nasima also revealed that 236 more Covid-19 patients have recovered from the infection in the last 24 hours.

As per the revised guidelines provided by the newly formed Clinical Management Committee of the health authorities, so far 2,650 people have won the fight against coronavirus.

On March 8, the health authorities in Bangladesh reported the first case of Covid-19, a severe acute respiratory illness caused by a new strain of coronavirus named Sars-CoV-2 that broke out in China's Wuhan in December last year and quickly spread throughout the world, becoming a pandemic in less than three months.

More to follow…

@UKBengali , the infected rate is actually higher today too . But still I speak for herd immunity as no one is practically obeying any distance . Govt should open everything to reduce gathering .

@Bilal9 , requesting your opinion too . Please read #497 post's news link and please write your opinion . Practically is it not the time when govt has to open all transport?

People are creating more crowd because there are no buses! So ferries an ferry ghats are more crowded with people . If transport open up , then the gathering can be slightly reduced.

I am wondering what will happen if people leave Dhaka just before Eid ! Specially who are living near dhaka can easily get other ways to exit
