Even if the passenger himself is not positive, if the person in the same room is positive, he must also remain in quarantine for 14 days.
Don’t get caught up in antigen test too, suggest launch nationwide quickly: Don’t get caught up in in country antigen test. This test can be done in 10 to 15 minutes. The RT-PCR test takes longer to get corona test results. Initially, this antigen test was started in 10 districts of the country. However, experts have suggested that the test be rolled out across the country. The government has yet to set a fee for antigen testing. The government is running this test for free. Only suspected corona patients with symptoms are being tested for antigens. Civil surgeons from different districts said that 20 to 25 percent of corona patients are quickly identified on this test. Negative tests are sent back to the RT-PCR testing labs.
Said the civil surgeon of the Gaibandha district. M Akhtaruzzaman told Manabzamin that the district is testing antigens for patients with corona symptoms. Twelve tests were performed on the first day. Identify a positive patient or crown. The remaining 11 negative results arrive. Yesterday 22 antigen tests were also performed. 5 people have been positive. The remaining 16 are negative. The negatives have been sent to the Rangpur RT-PCR laboratory.

Said the civil surgeon of the Panchagarh district. Fazlur Rahman told Manabzamin that three antigen tests were conducted in his district on November 5. One of them was positive. After 6 tests yesterday, they all came back negative. Those that are negative will be sent to the PCR laboratory in Dinajpur. The Joypurhat district civil surgeon said. Wazed Ali said that 5 people tested positive on the first day in the district and 5 tested positive.
Head of the government-formed sample testing expansion policy committee and professor of medicine, Dr. Liaquat Ali told Manbajmin that the committee had strongly recommended the introduction of antibody and antigen tests. It was necessary to introduce tests for antibodies and antigens simultaneously, not just antigens. Not just in 10 districts, this test needs to be rolled out quickly across the country. Welcoming the initiative, he added that where there is RT-PCR testing, there should also be antigen testing. He said 25 percent of the test results could be negative. Therefore, an RT-PCR test should be performed. And he believes that this test should also be done in private according to the specific policy.
