Covid-19 situation under control in Bangladesh

Generally, any epidemic is said to be under control if the rate of infection falls below 5 percent. Therefore, health experts believe that the pandemic has come under control as the rate of coronavirus infection in Bangladesh has come down to 4.69 percent.

Does lowering the detection rate below 5 percent mean that the situation is under control? In response to such a question, the spokesperson of the Directorate General of Health Services, Prof. Dr. Nazmul Islam said, "As per the current identification rate, we can say that the coronavirus situation is under control. Even then, if we all want to get out of the house, we must wear masks and follow hygiene rules."

Health expert Professor Dr Farhad Manzoor said, "If the coronavirus detection rate is below 5 percent, we can lead a normal life. However, you must follow the hygiene rules. Those who have not yet been vaccinated should take the jab as soon as possible. If the identification rate is like this, all the educational institutions can be opened in accordance with the health rules."
