Corona virus infection has increased in Bangladesh in recent weeks. However, experts believe that it is not yet time to confirm whether the second wave of infection has started. However, they say the current infection trend is a sign of a second wave.
Speaking our time, two public health experts said that if the condition of the crown is below 5 percent for at least a few weeks, it is considered to be under control. If it continues to grow, the trend is out of control. If the infection continues to increase in Bangladesh due to the British or African crown (strain), it can take a deadly form, which will be understood in a few weeks. And if the type of infection in Bangladesh is the same as before, the situation may not be serious. So if we watch for a few more days, a decision can be made about it.
Professor ABM Khurshid Alam, director general of the Department of Health, said that if the coronavirus infection continues to increase, there is a danger of great danger if health rules are not strictly followed. Speaking at the inaugural function of the One Stop TB Center at Dhaka’s Shyamoli TB Hospital on Sunday, he said: ‘Most of the victims are young. Many of the victims are admitted to the ICU. Every hospital in the country has already been instructed to be prepared to deal with the second wave of infection. Khurshid said letters had been sent to the civil surgeon’s offices. ICUs have been asked to be ready across the country.
The cabinet division has also directed the government field administration to be strict in preventing infection. In a letter dated March 13, the divisional commissioner, the district administration and the executive officials of upazila were asked to take the necessary action in this regard.
Meanwhile, among experts’ various fears, the Health Department said the number of infections has risen the most in the past two and a half months. Several weeks later, on March 9, the infection again exceeded 5 percent. Last Friday and Saturday, the daily detection rate was more than 6 percent. Yesterday it rose to 6.15 percent. The Health Department says the number of new diagnosed cases in the country has increased by 6.27 percent in the last week, and deaths have increased by 49.02 percent as a result of new infections.
Analyzing the press release sent yesterday by the department, it has been seen that in the last 24 hours from 8 in the morning to the same time yesterday, another 1,159 people have been infected in the country. 17 people died. Among the dead were 12 men and 8 women. This number of identities is the highest in the last two and a half months and death is the highest in the last seven weeks. With this, the number of corona cases in the country has risen to 5 lakh 56,395 people and the number of deaths has risen to 8,545 people. At this time, another 1,365 patients in home and hospital treatment have recovered in the last day. So far, the total number of healthy patients has risen to five lakh 11,695 people. Bangladesh is ranked 33rd in the world in terms of the Johns Hopkins University list and 41st in terms of death toll.
Former World Health Organization (WHO) regional adviser on Southeast Asia, Professor Dr. Mozaherul Haque. “It is not the second wave of infection at this time,” he said. However, it can be called a sign of the second wave. So if no steps are taken now to prevent infection, the situation will move into the second wave. Another public health expert said. Lelin Chowdhury said: “We have to see if this infection is increasing due to the entry of some new type (strain) into Bangladesh. The new situation will have to be monitored for a few more weeks. After that you can tell if the second wave has reached the country.
Previously, the Health Department had identified more patients than on December 30 of last year. That day 1,235 new patients were identified. Earlier, on January 24, 20 people were reported to have died. The daily detection rate also crossed 6 percent for the first time since Jan.4. The department said the detection rate was 7.15 percent compared to the previous day’s tests.
According to a press release issued from 8 a.m. on Saturday to 6 a.m. on Sunday, 16,526 samples have been analyzed in 219 public and private laboratories across the country in the last 24 hours. So far 42 lakh 64 thousand 551 samples have been tested.
