2 Coronavirus Cases Detected in Bhola

Two people including a child tested positive for coronavirus for the first time in the district on Thursday.

Bhola Civil Surgeon Ratan Kumar Dhali said that a young man of around 22 years of age from Manpura Upazila and an eight-year-old girl from Borhanuddin Upazila were diagnosed with COVID-19 in the district.

Manpura Upazila Health Officer Dr. Mahmudur Rashid said the young man, a hotel employee, had recently come from Dhaka and had no symptoms. However, suspecting his travel background, the authorities concerned gathered his sample and submitted it to Barishal for the test.

According to the civil surgeon office, samples of 223 people were collected in the district, and of them 221 tested negative.
