The decision will take effect on Saturday, according to a directive from the Department of Flight Rules and Regulations at Bebichak.
As a result, no domestic or foreign airline will be able to bring any passenger to Bangladesh without the Covid-19 ‘Negative’ certificate.
Member of Bebichak (Flight Rules and Regulations) Captain of the Chowdhury group. The instructions, signed by Ziaul Kabir, say that all passengers must be tested for coronavirus in the PCR lab within 72 hours before arriving in Bangladesh. They will be allowed to come to Bangladesh only if their coronavirus test is ‘negative’. Passengers at the airport must show that medical certificate.
All passengers arriving at the airport will undergo a medical examination that will include a temperature test. If anyone shows signs of coronavirus, even if they have a ‘negative’ certificate for Covid-19, they will be taken directly to the designated hospital for treatment and sent to an isolation center.
And those who do not show symptoms have to return home and remain in home quarantine for 14 days.
He said workers from Bangladesh, who have a BMET card, can come to the country with antigen or any other acceptable test certificate if the coronavirus test system is not available in the PCR lab of the country they will come from.
Diplomats from diplomatic missions stationed in Bangladesh and their family members must also have a coronavirus test certificate from the PCR laboratory and must be tested within 72 hours of travel.
Foreign entrepreneurs and investors must also show the ‘negative’ Covid-19 certificate if they want to come to Bangladesh. If they show no symptoms at the airport and stay in Bangladesh for less than 14 days, they will be allowed to leave Bangladesh.
But if they have symptoms of the virus, they will be sent to isolation centers and hospitals for further testing and treatment.
In addition to ensuring the physical distance of the employees who work at the airport, passengers, crew and aircraft have been instructed to carry out the disinfection process properly.
The directive will take effect on December 5 for flights to Bahrain, China, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Malaysia, Maldives, Oman, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.
There are no direct flights from Bangladesh to other destinations, including Europe and the United States. Passengers travel to and from Singapore, Turkey, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Malaysia and the United Kingdom. As a result, the directive will also apply to flights to other destinations, including Europe and the United States.
However, this condition will not apply to state-initiated relief, humanitarian assistance, repatriation, repatriation of Bangladeshi nationals, and diplomatic flights approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, except for scheduled commercial flights.
Bangladeshi passengers will need to follow the country’s and airline’s rules.
If the Covid-19 ‘Negative’ certificate is mandatory to go to any country, you must be examined in a hospital approved by the Government of Bangladesh.
The airlines will make the necessary arrangements to inform passengers what to do and what to take with them during the trip. However, the certificate is not mandatory for children under the age of 10 to go abroad.
When the novel coronavirus outbreak appeared in China in December last year, Bangladesh, like many other countries, began taking precautionary measures at airports and land ports in January. In addition to examining returning passengers with temperature tests, if someone has any signs of illness, they are sent to a 14-day quarantine.
The army was given the responsibility of managing the government-run quarantine center at Ashkona Hajj camp in Dhaka and Diabari near Uttara. Immigration authorities also took steps to guarantee home quarantine for foreign returnees.
Meanwhile, international flights have been suspended for more than two months, but since June, Bangladesh has been operating scheduled flights with several countries.
That is why Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina recently ordered to start strict surveillance at all ports.
The first case of coronavirus was detected in Bangladesh on March 8; It has already crossed 4 lakh 61 thousand. The Health Department has so far reported 6,748 deaths from the virus.
Meanwhile, the number of patients identified in the world so far has exceeded 65.2 million; The death toll has exceeded 1.5 million.
