Bangladesh is no exception to it.
The disease is infecting people almost every day.
Meanwhile, the scientists apprehend that the third wave of Covid-19 may attack countries including Bangladesh.

On March 18, 202, Bangladesh had reported its first Covid-19 death.

Following a spike in infections, the government took a tougher stance to fight the pandemic.

The country launched a countrywide vaccination drive on February 7. As the daily infection rate keeps rising, the government extended the closure of schools and colleges until May 23.

The Covid-19 first broke out in China’s Wuhan city in late December, 2019, and quickly spread throughout the world, becoming a pandemic in less than three months.
