Former Vice Chancellor of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib University of Medicine, Prof. Nazrul Islam said that people in Bangladesh are more susceptible to influenza A, parainfluenza-3, rhino virus and respiratory syncytial virus during the winter season. These viruses are responsible for colds, fevers, pneumonia. One of the effects of this may be to reduce the rate of coronavirus infection.
Explaining the matter, the virologist told bdnews24.com that one of the virus’s rules is that if one of the viruses enters the human body, it does not allow the other virus to enter.
“People have been infected by the spread of our indigenous virus. It is possible that the coronavirus could not attack in that way because it was infected with another virus. As you may have noticed, the number of victims in our country was higher in summer. Infection rate has decreased since August. But we think it would increase in winter. “
Dr. Nazrul Islam said that people now wear masks to raise awareness, the infection rate may stay low if it continues.
