Coronavirus Reuters In the next 2 to 3 years, the people of the country are not free from corona Professor Abul Kalam Azad, Director General of the Department of Health, gave this prophecy about Corona in a news bulletin today. He says public health experts have given their views on corona after reviewing data experiences from different countries around the world.
Abul Kalam Azad presented a picture of deep darkness to the people when people are dreaming of returning to normal life in the next two to one months. What does this mean? Will people be housebound for the next 2-3 years? Will the next 2-3 years of school and college be closed? Will people continue to be infected with corona for the next 2-3 years? There are many more such questions in people's minds. While many countries in the world are trying to control the infection and return to normal life, Bangladesh is saying something else. The question is why the director general of the health department said this. Professor Benazir Ahmed, a former director of the Department of Public Health and Disease Control at the Department of Health, said: If you do not take effective measures to prevent infection, the corona will last a lifetime. Such words mean to give up. '
After the news bulletin, Prothom Alo wants to know about this from the Public Health Advisory Committee. This committee has 6 members. This committee has been giving various suggestions to the Department of Health for three months. Several members of the committee said they had not told the government or the department that Corona would stay for 2-3 years.
There is another committee of 18 members called the National Technical Advisory Committee which is advising the government. The members of this committee also said that they have never said such a thing.
Then why did Abul Kalam Azad say this? After the news bulletin, Prothom Alo wants to know the basis of his statement to Abul Kalam Azad. He says public health experts around the world say the virus is not going away easily. High-rate infections may not occur. There will be 2-3 years. The countrymen need to be ready for this in advance.
The Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) released the first corona infection data in the country on March 8. Today this number has exceeded one lakh. Experts say the Department of Health has worked aimlessly in the past three months to prevent corona infections. There was no well-thought-out plan in those works, there was no coordination in the work. Even today there is no effective initiative in the field to prevent infection. The countrymen will have to pay the price for this lack of initiative for the next two-three years.
