IEDCR Director Meerjady Sabrina Flora said on Wednesday that the first will be an initial alert level when no coronavirus case is reported. The next level will be in place if the number of coronavirus cases increases, the chief of the government’s disease control agency said. “We believe that the disease will not spread quickly [if it reaches Bangladesh] as we are taking integrated measures,” Flora said. The condition of five Bangladeshi coronavirus patients in Singapore and another in the UAE remains unchanged, she said. “We are keeping in touch with the Bangladeshis in Singapore, Iran, South Korea and Italy considering the current situation in those countries, she said.
