In a press release Tuesday night, the government agency urged the media not to spread “confusion” about the study.
ICDDR, B conducted the study on behalf of IEDCR, the results of which were released at an event Monday. He said that 45 percent of people in Dhaka had new antibodies against the coronavirus and about 64 percent in marginal areas.

Covid-19: Antibodies in the body of ’45 percent ‘in Dhaka
Based on this research, the World Health Organization also estimates that one in 10 people in the world is infected with Covid-19, which was highlighted by the director of the Department of Health, Dr. Mirzadi Sebrina Flora.
The former director of the IECDR said: “This information is important enough. The information that has been given so far was based on those who come to perform the test. No information was taken on those who were at home.
“It just came to our attention then. According to the World Health Organization, one in ten people is infected. Our information is also around 9.8. So the image around the world is the same as ours.”
But on Tuesday, the director of IEDCR. A press release signed by Tahmina Shirin said: “The IEDCR did not claim that the study presented a representative image of the metropolis of Dhaka.
“But the scientific basis has been weakened and confused as some media have portrayed the entire metropolis of Dhaka in the study,” he said.
He explained that when conducting research on such a small sample, it cannot be called the big picture of Dhaka.
The study analyzed 12,799 samples and found antibodies to the new coronavirus in 45 percent of the people.
Dr Tahmina said: “It should not be concluded that the results of such a small number of sample tests are representative of the entire metropolis of Dhaka. To present the true picture of the Dhaka metropolis, it is necessary to collect a large number of representative samples in the future and conduct research on a larger scale. “
The number of Kovid-19 patients identified in the country as of Tuesday is 3 lakh 61,275 people. However, experts believe that most of them failed the test.
Even if a coronavirus infection occurs, people who do not have symptoms can be identified by antibody testing.
