Conclusion
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by this newly emerged virus is
undoubtedly a matter of international health concern. Investigation of
viral genomic, pathogenesis and epidemiological study have been
continued to find potential treatment strategies. In Bangladesh, delay
of strategic planning, scarcity of health care facilities (PPE,
ventilators), shortage of appropriate preventive measures (quarantine
and isolation unit), emergency service, unawareness and lack of
knowledge of the people about the COVID-19 is aggravating the situation.
As a developing country, Bangladesh should focus on scaling up its
readiness and response operation as well as improving the health care
facilities such as upgrading the capacity of the testing laboratories,
institutional quarantine centers and stocking personal protective
equipment. Promoting knowledge and awareness of the COVID-19 among the
mass people is also significant.
