A 10-member medical panel led by Dr Shahabuddin Talukdar has been treating Khaleda Zia. She is suffering from post-COVID complications and has been kept in CCU, according to the panel, reports the news portal."If a coronavirus patient has no symptoms after two weeks of infections, it is assumed they won't infect others.
