COVID 19 PARAGRAPH
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has now spread through the entire world and emerged as a major public health threat. COVID-19 is a highly transmittable and pathogenic viral infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. This novel pathogenic virus emerged in Wuhan, China, and has rapidly spread around the world,1 with 210 countries, including Bangladesh, reporting more than 2.4 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, leading to 169,006 deaths as of April 22, 2020.2 Many developed countries in the world have imposed uniquely severe isolation measures in an attempt to attenuate the mortality and disease transmission of the virus, and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the situation a public health emergency of international concern. The first COVID-19 case in Bangladesh was identified on March 8, 2020. Since then, 120 deaths of 3772 confirmed cases have been reported to date. The total number of cases is rising rapidly, with a high mortality rate (3.18%).3 As the number of COVID-19 infections continues to rise in Bangladesh , an emergency public health response is urgently required to mitigate the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak, which has the potential to result in devastating social, economic, and political crisis.
