Health Minister Zahid Maleque on Monday urged all to maintain health protocols as the number of Covid-19 cases started to rise in Bangladesh.
“Covid-19 has not been eradicated yet. Although the situation is normal now, it may take an alarming turn any time,” said the minister at the secretariat after a meeting on automation of the admission process in private medical and dental colleges, reports UNB.
He said Covid-19 cases have increased a bit in the country with 109 people infected with the virus on Sunday.
“Many eminent personalities including ministers have already been infected. Everyone must follow health rules and wear a mask,” he added.
The minister also urged those who have not been vaccinated yet to get vaccinated immediately.
“The proposed budget allocated around Tk 40.00 billion for the health sector. The allocation is more than the previous fiscal year,” he said.
Regarding the automation of students’ admission in private medical and dental colleges, he said the admission process will be transparent now.
