Chairman of the Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council, Dr. at a seminar organized by the Bangladesh Society of Surgeons at a hotel in Dhaka on Sunday. Shahidullah said that at first, Bangladesh, like all other countries in the world, was “shocked.” However, Bangladesh has gradually “managed” the situation. Has reached capacity.
However, he acknowledged that their numbers were not enough to defeat the government of President Conte. As the government has taken various measures, both the infection rate and the death rate have decreased. However, there is still no possibility of showing relaxation. We all have to work to protect ourselves, the service cannot be stopped. “
The number of people infected with the new coronavirus, which spread from China to the rest of the world in December last year, has already reached close to four million rupees, killing more than 1.1 million people.
Officially, the number of identified patients in Bangladesh has reached 3 lakh 8 thousand, and 5 thousand 60 people have died.
Although various restrictions have been used to reduce the incidence of epidemics in different countries, the number of daily infections has started to rise again. In many cold countries such as the UK, many experts believe that the second stage of infection has started after the change of seasons.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has also instructed to prepare in advance, expressing fears that the situation may also worsen in Bangladesh. The Health Ministry has said that it will address the situation through a roadmap following the instructions of the head of government.
No effective drug or vaccine against the virus has yet been developed. As a result, people do not know of any other strategy to avoid Kovid-19 other than strictly following hygiene rules.
Dr. Shahidullah said that no one knows when the coronavirus vaccine will arrive. So, to prevent the second wave of infection, hygiene rules should be followed.
“It’s good to have hope, but we don’t know when it will arrive. No vaccine went into production. Nobody says it will be available in one or two years. So it is better to follow hygiene rules.
“Wearing masks, washing hands, and maintaining social distance is not rocket science. If we can do these three things, I think we will probably stay away from the second wave.”

Although the National Committee long ago recommended the introduction of rapid antigen and antibody tests for the coronavirus in the country, the medical specialist again appealed to the government, noting that it has not yet started.
He said: “If someone tests negative for antigen, they have to undergo RTPCR, but if someone tests positive, they no longer have to undergo RTPCR. We have repeatedly discussed rapid antigen testing to reduce this pressure. The government has approved it, but it has not yet been launched.
“We also understand the need for rapid antibody testing. If we can eliminate them by antibody testing, then they can act as a workforce. When the vaccine comes, they will be left behind, and those without protection will get the vaccine first. “
Health Minister Zahid Malek said on the occasion that “some progress has been made” in enabling Bangladesh to receive the vaccine.
“We have been in contact with different companies. The honorable Prime Minister knows. He also has an instruction, we are working that way. In a few days you will know what vaccine we can take. We will receive the vaccine, which will be available soon, at an affordable price. “
The Health Minister said that the media has learned that there are three Globe Biotech tickers in Bangladesh on the World Health Organization’s list of preclinical trials.
He said: “I saw in the newspaper that they are on the WHO list. We will definitely consider whether it turns out to be good or effective. Because none of the vaccines have been effective yet. So those who are making vaccines, including companies in our country, we will definitely take what’s good. “
In the past seven months, many people have spoken “negatively” about the health department in dealing with the epidemic, but no one has supported the people, he said.
He said: “They sat at home and criticized from a safe distance. Nobody came and stood still. But our doctors, nurses and health workers, the police and the army have worked from the field to control the situation. That is why the situation is under control ”.
Among others, BMA President Mostafa Jalal Mohiuddin, General Secretary Ehteshamul Haque Chowdhury, Swachip President Iqbal Arslan, General Secretary MA Aziz, Former Director of MA Aziz Children’s Hospital, President of the Bangladesh Society of Surgeons AHM Touhidul Alam, Secretary General SM Kamrul Chowdhury spoke on the occasion.
