Khaleda Zia's housemaid Fatema, eight others test corona positive

Mamun said, "Khaleda Zia has no symptoms. But she was also tested as nine people, including her housemaid Fatima, were infected with coronavirus. For personal safety, her coronavirus report was initially kept secret."

He added, "Although Khaleda Zia has no symptoms, a cabin in a hospital has been booked for emergencies."

Dr. Mamun said, "Madam's personal staff had a fever and cough 4-5 days ago. When we tested her, the result was positive. There were 4-5 other people coming and going in the room where the person was staying. They were also tested. The result was positive. For this reason, even if Khaleda Zia does not have any symptoms, she was tested."

"Everything from oxygen to home is in order. Her home has all kinds of medical care," he said.

A personal doctor of Khaleda Zia, who did not want to be named, said, "In fact, Khaleda Zia should be treated at the hospital now. But I don't have a say in it, because her eldest son's wife is in charge of her treatment. She should decide."

A source close to the BNP chairperson, who did not wish to be named, said Khaleda Zia is usually treated at the United Hospital. If he still has to be treated at the hospital, she will be taken to that hospital. Accordingly, the United Hospital authorities have been contacted initially.
