The Director General of the Department of Health, Professor Dr. ABM Khurshid Alam. He told this to reporters at the Directorate of Health on Sunday (April 25).
He said that as a new form of Corona has been detected in India, it has been proposed to stop all communication with the country except for the transportation of essential goods. The proposal was made at the meeting of the National Technical Committee on Covid-19 yesterday, Saturday.
Meanwhile, at the end of yesterday's meeting, the head of the committee Dr. Mohammad Sahidullah said that travel with India should be stopped unless absolutely necessary. There is definitely a risk of spreading the infection if there is too much travel with neighboring countries. We are asking to tighten the border. Visits should be limited. This means no one should travel unless absolutely necessary. Travel may be stopped for some tourist, entertainment or general reason.
He further said that if we cannot control, limit and quarantine the contact with India then it will spread.
At that time, the Director General of the Department of Health said that one lakh doses of the vaccine will be given by Kovacs in the first week of next month. At the same time, Beximco announced that 2 million doses of the serum would arrive. Besides, 500,000 doses of vaccine will be received from China. Since we are getting the vaccine before the end, hopefully there will be no crisis.
