The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic was confirmed to have spread to Bangladesh on March 2020. The first three known cases were reported on 7 March 2020 by the country's epidemiology institute IEDCR.[4] Infections stayed low till the end of March but saw steep rise in April. In the week ending 11 April, new cases in Bangladesh grew 1155 percent, the highest in Asia, compared to its close rival Indonesia with 186 percent.[5] As of 15 April, there are a total of 1231 confirmed cases, 49 recoveries, and 50 deaths in the country.[1][6]
Experts criticised that not enough tests were conducted in the country that has a population of over 160 million.[7][8] Newspaper reports and social media continued to report about additional deaths of patients with COVID-19 symptoms. Some of the deceased were treated at COVID-19 isolation centres at hospitals in the districts and others were denied treatment, though no tests were conducted to confirm contagion.[9] For a long time, testing was centralised to only Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) in the capital Dhaka, although patients with symptoms were reported all around the country.[10]
On 22 March, Bangladesh declared a 10-day shut down effective from 26 March to 4 April.[11] This was later increased to 25 April.[12]
A series of hotline numbers, email address and the Facebook page of the Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) are provided for people to contact if they suspect Covid-19 infection or need more information.[13]
Background
On 31 December 2019, China reported to the WHO cases of pneumonia with unknown causes. On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China.[14][15]
The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower than SARS of 2003,[16][17] but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[18][16]
Bangladesh faces significant challenges in combating COVID-19 as it is a densely populated country and also houses thousands of stateless Rohingya refugees in sprawling refugee camps that are conducive to the spread of epidemics. It also has significant migrant populations living in Italy, a COVID-affected country.[19]
Timeline
On 22 January, the authorities at the Dhaka airport put the airports on alert by screening travellers from China.[23][24]
On 1 February, a special flight from Bangladesh evacuated 312 Bangladeshi citizens stranded in Wuhan.[25] The evacuees were quarantined for 14 days at the Ashkona Hajj Camp in Dhaka and other locations.[26][27] None of them tested positive for the coronavirus.[28][29]
On 8 March, the first three coronavirus cases were confirmed.[30] They included two men that recently returned from Italy and a female relative.[31] On the same day, the government decided to scale down the grand ceremony planned for Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's birth centenary on 17 March.[32]
On 15 March, 142 passengers returned from Italy, who were also taken to the Ashkona Hajj camp. After they complained about the unsanitary conditions there, many of them were allowed to go home with advice to self-isolate. Health experts expressed serious reservations about the action.[33]
On 18 March, Bangladesh reported its first coronavirus death. The patient was aged over 70 and had other morbidities.[34] By the end of March Bangladesh had reported 51 confirmed cases and five deaths.
On 5 April, Bangladesh reported 18 new cases, representing a 26% increase on the previous day. From then till the present day, the day-on-day increases have exceeded 20%, crossing the figure of 100 confirmed cases on 6 April and 1,000 confirmed cases on 14 April.
Government response
Evacuations
On 31 January, a special flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines with special quarantine, three physicians, a nurse and required medical equipment on board flew to Wuhan, China to evacuate stranded Bangladeshi citizens.[35]
On 1 February, 312 Bangladeshi citizens (297 were adults and 15 children) stranded in Wuhan, China were evacuated and brought back to Bangladesh. Most of the Bangladeshis were students and PhD researchers at different universities in the Hubei province in China where their provincial government launched multiple screening tests before allowing them to get on board the plane. Majority of the evacuees were quarantined for 14 days at the Hajj Camp in Ashkona in Dhaka and some at the Combined Military Hospital before being released two weeks later.[36][37] None of these returnees from Wuhan China were tested positive for coronavirus.[38][39]
Travel and entry restrictions
On 22 January, the authorities at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) in Dhaka reported that they had put the airports on alert to prevent the spread of coronavirus in Bangladesh by screening travellers from China, where the virus had at that time infected nearly 300 people and killed six persons. The airport claimed to turn on its thermal scanner to scan passengers to detect any infection in passengers travelling from China.[40] A.H.M. Touhid-ul Ahsan, director of the main Shahjalal International Airport, said doctors at the airport would look for fevers, coughs, breathing difficulties and sore throats. The country's Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research were to be notified of any passengers with symptoms for further examination, he said.[41]
On 2 February, the government of Bangladesh decided to suspend on-arrival visas for Chinese visitors [42] The Chittagong port also announced that as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of coronavirus from the ships that bring goods from around the world, the port health officer would examine all sailors of the ships coming from the East Asian countries.[43]
Social distancing measures
On 17 March, when Bangladesh had 8 confirmed cases, the government closed all schools, for the remainder of March. The Dhaka University was also closed for the same period.[44] This reportedly increased tourist traffic at the beaches in Chittagong and Cox's Bazar, counteracting the government measure.[19] The government also failed to ban congregational prayers in mosques and the Imams refused to follow guidance from the Islamic Foundation.[45] Atlantic Council scholars Irfan Norruddin and Rudabeh Shahid called the government measures contradictory with "lack-luster enforcement".[19]
On 23 March, when Bangladesh had 33 confirmed cases, the government declared a ten-day nationwide holiday for the period 26 March–4 April, ordering all public and private offices to be closed, with exception for emergency services. People have been asked to practise social distancing and stay at home. Public transport would be limited and advice was given to avoid them.[46] The measure has been described as a "lockdown" by the media,[47][48] albeit a "relaxed" one.[49]
Testing and surveillance
Older Rohingya refugees in overcrowded camps in Bangladesh are being left behind in humanitarian response to COVID-19, which could have devastating consequences given the high risks older people everywhere face from this deadly pandemic, Amnesty International said.[50]
| Total Sample Tested | 14868 |
|---|---|
| Tested per Million | 90 |
| Tested last 24hrs | 1740 |
| Total Positive | 1231 |
| The above data was issued by the IEDCR, as of 14th April 2020. | |
Economic impact
Even though garment factories were allowed to continue operating under the country's lockdown, an estimated one million garment workers, or one quarter of the workforce, were laid off due to declining orders for export.[51]
On 5 April, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced a stimulus package amounting to some US$8bn.[52]
