Is Bangladesh at a high risk of coronavirus?
Though some government officials and health ministry tried to show the condition of Coronavirus Bangladesh lightly, some other concerned bodies are worried about the prevention and protection system of the virus. Since Bangladesh has good connectivity for business purposes with those countries affected by this virus, there is a higher chance of getting infected by the virus in Bangladesh also. So, many of the concerned authorities and general people are thinking that Bangladesh is at high risk of coronavirus.
Korona Virus Bangladesh
The USA and China also have talked about the Coronavirus Bangladesh and reminded about the risk of this virus. Since the virus has already spread in over 73 countries in the world and Bangladesh has export and import activities with most of those countries, they have voiced over this matter is that our country is at a high risk of coronavirus spread. Apart from this, our risk increases as our neighboring country India has got infected by this virus.
Chinese ambassador in Bangladesh, Li Jiming, on Wednesday has also said that Bangladesh is at high risk of coronavirus infection as it has been started to spread in the neighboring countries. Another big reason for the estimated spread of the virus in our country is that we are having a lot of Chinese people in our country working at the Padma Bridge, Padma Bridge Rail Link project site at Keraniganj, and some other sectors.
Coronavirus Bangladesh Preventive Measures and Possible Fortune
Coronavirus Bangladesh preparedness still a great concern as there is not much initiative that has been taken yet. Many national and international bodies are urging the Bangladesh authorities to strengthen the screening measures at the ports of entry, take prior steps to prevent the virus, keep prepared beforehand even if it spreads in our country, and so on. Bangladesh is also trying to increase the capability to face the incident with confidence. The higher authority has already instructed different private and public bodies to be fully prepared to face the issue.
On the contrary, Coronavirus may bring some fortune for Bangladesh as well. Many countries have started to shift their production units from China. Many have also paused export and import business with China and seeking new opportunities in some other countries. In this case, Bangladesh has a great scope to grab some opportunities to increase the business with those developed and developing countries who are seeking new business scopes.
Final Verdict
There is still no scope to stay in relaxes about the current condition of Coronavirus Bangladesh. This is because the virus may spread and cause problems in our country anytime. So we should stay careful all the time individually, nationally, and globally. Only then we can get improvement from the situation.
