This is the biggest daily jump in infections since Bangladesh reported its first cases on Mar 8. Three patients were discharged from hospital during that period, bringing the number of recovered patients to 42 so far. There have also been reports of patients dying from the virus infection due to a lack of treatment at hospitals while many doctors purportedly fled in fear of getting infected. But the situation is beginning to improve, said Zahid, adding: "We've held fruitful discussions with the Private Hospital Association. Apart from that, private hispitals in every district are also willing to treat coronavirus patients and we are in the process of enlisting them."
