About 23 days later, colleagues and family members rushed the customs officer to Impulse Hospital in Tejgaon in a critical condition. In the meantime, one person called them up saying that he recovered from coronavirus and expressed interest in donating plasma. The family tried to collect plasma using multiple ways including Facebook page “Plasma Bank of Bangladesh (Covid-19)” as it has 200,000 members since the coronavirus pandemic. DMP said at least ten organized rings or individual plasma rings were wandering from hospital to hospital and keeping an eye on 'Plasma Bank of Bangladesh (Covid-19)' Facebook page to defraud Covid-19 patients. They then pretended to be cured Covid-19 patients and called the seekers, promising to donate plasma.
