Two Bangladeshi nationals who were infected with novel coronavirus in Singapore have recovered finally.
Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) on Saturday said it in a press briefing at its office in the capital.
“It is good news for us that a Bangladeshi who was suffering from the coronavirus infection in Singapore has gone home after making a recovery,”
IEDCR Director Dr Meerjady Sabrina Flora said. The IEDCR Director, however, advised greater caution pointing out that the probability of contracting the deadly virus outside China is now greater than ever.
Five Bangladeshis have been found positive for the virus which originated in China’s Wuhan. One of the Bangladeshi patients, however, remains in critical condition in the South-East Asian country.
“Another Bangladeshi was released from hospital in the country the day before. But the condition of the man who was in a critical state, remains the same,” said Flora.
“The rest are in stable condition and could be discharged from hospital at any time.”
Meanwhile, the coronavirus surged in Italy, South Korea and Iran, has become the epicentre of the virus in the Middle East. A Bangladeshi migrant has also been infected with the virus in the United Arab Emirates.
Health officials in Bangladesh conducted tests on 87 people in the last 24 hours, but the country is yet to detect a case of the novel virus, according to Flora.
The Director said that the IEDCR is ready to combat any situation and are continuing the screening measures.
