In the last 24 hours, the identification rate of corona patients was 3.74 percent, on March 2 it was 3.36 percent, and on March 1 it was 4.31 percent. The day before, February 28, the detection rate was 2.6 percent.
“The number of patients is increasing,” said Dr. Assistant Professor of Virology, Dhaka Medical College. Nusrat Sultana told the Bengali Tribune: ‘We have been receiving more and more patients for some time. In between, the patient identification rate fell below 10 percent. For a long time it was almost at the same rate. I have received more patients in the last four or five days. Today it was 14 percent, yesterday it was 16 percent, the day before it was 18 percent, and the day before it was 19 percent.
Dr. Nusrat Sultana said: ‘Not only that, the number of crown patients admitted to the hospital has also increased. The number of people admitted with shortness of breath and corona symptoms has also increased greatly. Sometimes it also decreased.
If you want to know the reason for the increase in the patient said. Nusrat said: ‘People become reluctant when the rate of patient identification goes down. People assumed that Corona was declining from Bangladesh. So a false sense of security has been created between them. Without masks, without washing your hands, your circulation has increased. The speed at which people are going to travel can also be seen on social media.
The agglomeration of people has increased a lot. But it has been said from the beginning to avoid public gatherings.
Second, after vaccination, people think they have been protected. Which is not true at all, ‘said Dr. Nusrat Sultana.
Narayanganj Gazi Kovid-19, assistant professor in chief of the PCR laboratory. Rokhsana Raihan told the Bangla Tribune: ‘I cover Rupganj, Araihazar, Narayanganj port and Sonargaon. Sometimes the patient identification rate was low for many days. At that time, there were more people from Dhaka who took the test. But over the past week, the positivity rate among the local Narayanganj population has increased a lot. Last week and this week, the patient identification rate has been between seven and 10 percent, which has gone from zero to one percent at times.
Dr. Rokhsana Raihan said: ‘Narayanganj was much more infected from the beginning. The district was initially declared a hotspot. It can also be a cause for concern if you are getting re-infected now. People’s awareness has also decreased, so the number of patients is increasing.
After vaccination, people do not wear masks, said the scientific director of the Institute for Pathology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR). ASM Alamgir said: ‘The freedom of not wearing a mask will not vaccinate. That is why we say that even after getting vaccinated, you have to follow the hygiene rules. Vaccination is not the only tool, vaccination is one of the tools. You have to wear a mask, wash your hands, adhere to social distancing, don’t go to public gatherings, and if you have to go, you have to wear a mask all the time.
If you want to know why the rate of patient identification is increasing, a member of the National Technical Advisory Committee on Covid-19 and former Vice Chancellor of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Prof. Dr. Nazrul Islam said: ‘With the advent of vaccination, awareness among the people has decreased. They walk without masks. The tourist places are full of people. There is no social distance. People have returned to the way they were before March 7 of last year. Which is totally inappropriate. ‘
Professor Nazrul Islam says: ‘I will ask the government to again take a strict position to comply with various health standards, including wearing a mask. We are still in a much better position. If we can’t hold out, we will have to go through a difficult situation again. ‘
