Health Desk- 23 Feb,
2020: Pointless panic about the novel coronavirus will hinder efforts to
prevent the disease, according to the Institute of Epidemiology, Disease
Control and Research (IEDCR).
Rumours should not be spread on the issue, IEDCR Director
Prof Meerjady Sabrina Flora said at a media briefing on Saturday.
Foreign nationals or Bangladesh returnees from abroad are
being harassed, she said. “Some overenthusiastic people are creating
embarrassing situations. We were informed that house owners are not letting
their tenants enter the houses. A Chinese national was not allowed to enter his
rented house and had to spend the night in a hotel,” she said.
Prof Meerjady Sabrina Flora, the director of IEDCR, briefs
the media on Tuesday on the health condition of Bangladeshis evacuated from
China amid the new coronavirus outbreak.

If someone is really infected with the coronavirus, then
keeping them outside will spread the disease furthermore, Flora said.
In Bangladesh, 77 people were checked for coronavirus
infections but none of them tested positive, said the IEDCR director.
The conditions of the five Bangladeshi nationals infected
with the coronavirus in Singapore remain the same, she said. One of them is in
critical condition, but the health authorities still hope for his recovery, she
added.
“They’re trying their best. We hope everyone will recover and
go home.”
Another Bangladeshi has been infected with the novel
coronavirus in the United Arab Emirates, the health ministry of UAE said.
Globally, 77,000 people have been infected with the virus as
of Friday while the death toll rose to 2,360.
