Points to be considered in Bangladesh
- Zone-wise lockdown should be continued, and the government should keep
in mind both the economic challenges and COVID-19 infection rate.
- Implementation of a nationwide contact tracing is mandatory, which
will help to locate the infected individuals, their contacted persons
and prevent secondary infections.
- Both the national and international public health agencies should come
together for scaling up surveillance operations throughout the
country.
- Uses of low-cost and rapid diagnostic kits ( such as Gonoshasthay’s
kit) would be an effective strategy to identify all possible suspected
cases which will mitigate the spreading.
- Finally, raising campaigns about using face masks, maintaining social
isolation and eliminating the rumors of COVID-19 among the mass
population can be some possible measures.
