Follow Health Rules to Avoid Danger: Health DG

Expressing concerns over the rising coronavirus or Covid-19 infection and deaths in the last 24 hours. Prof Dr ABM Khurshid Alam, Director General (DG) of Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) said there may be a danger if health guidelines are not followed strictly.

He said, ''We were in comfort in the last two months, so we are not following anything. We will fall in great danger in the coming days if we do not follow health regulations.''

The health DG made the remarks at the inaugural ceremony of the One-Stop TB Centre at TB Hospital at Shamoli in the capital on Sunday.

Prof Khurshid said, ''Those who are being infected are mostly youths. It is being required to admit the infected persons in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the hospital.''

"In the last two months, no request for ICU bed was made to me. But I have been receiving calls for ICU beds. Now, young men having good physical condition are being infected with coronavirus,'' he said.
