@UKBengali , @Bilal9 any opinion?

She cant just open up the lockdown without a discussion and agreement on the plan/process especially testing plan.

There could be a wave of re-infections like in China.

But @Bilal9 , I believe actually Hasina had taken the decision after discussion and thinking . Also govt can not rely on specialist as you see nowadays the specialists ( বিশেষজ্ঞ in Bengali ) were being proven as , ' বিশেষ ভাবে যে অজ্ঞ = বিশেষজ্ঞ ) .
So govt ignored the doctors and specialists of Bangladesh and accepted the opinion of bureaucrats. That's why Hasina followed the path of international specialists I think . Please take a look here as any news from this portal can't be copied . Right click is disabled.

So public transportation will be open too but it will be limited . Also this method was appealing for me from the very beginning . Although @UKBengali always opposed it .

Bangladesh reviews trial of Chinese COVID-19 vaccine
Manzur H Maswood | Published: 00:15, Jul 23,2020


Top government policymakers have started reviewing the possible phase-3 trial of a Chinese COVID-19 vaccine in the country after it got ethical approval from the Bangladesh Medical Research Council, officials said.

The trial of a COVID-19 vaccine is an inter-government issue, said health secretary Abdul Mannan.

He also said that the foreign ministry and top government policymakers were reviewing the prospects of the human trial of COVID-19 vaccine in the country.

The BMRC on Sunday approved the phase-3 trial of the vaccine, developed by Chinese firm Sinovac.

International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, has partnered with Sinovac to conduct the trial on healthcare providers at selected hospitals.

A private TV channel aired news on Tuesday that the decision of the vaccine trial had been overturned, which appeared to be shocking for the nation.

Health secretary Abdul Mannan told New Age on Wednesday, ‘As the statutory body of medical research, the BMRC has approved it and now it is under review,’ he said.

Health ministry in a release in the afternoon said that health minister Zahid Maleque said that the government would take decision on the trial of the Chinese COVID-19 vaccine upon consultation with the National Technical Advisory Committee on COVID-19.

Sinovac initiated the development of an inactivated vaccine against COVID-19 named CoronaVac in January and got the approval to conduct the phase-1 and phase-2 clinical trials in China that began in April.

The phase-3 clinical trial to test the efficacy and safety of the vaccine has already been approved by a number of countries, including Brazil, one of the worst coronavirus-hit countries.

BMRC director Mahmood-uz-Jahan told New Age that 4,200 health workers would be selected for the trial and that half of them would be vaccinated to assess the results in comparison with the other half who would not be vaccinated.

The trial would be carried out on the healthcare providers of seven units of six COVID-19 hospitals in the capital.

The hospitals are Dhaka Medical College Hospital (two units), Mugda Medical College Hospital, Kurmitola General Hospital, Bangladesh-Kuwait Friendship Hospital, Dhaka Mohanagar Hospital and Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College Hospital.

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University pharmacology professor and a member of the BMRC ethical committee, Sayedur Rahman, told New Age that as the vaccine trial was a decision involving the health of the nation, the government would require police decision alongside the approval from the BMRC.
