The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has set up a five-member COVID-19 related media cell in Bangladesh.
The cell is meant for monitoring and taking steps to release information, hold press briefing and carry out mass awareness campaign and correct misinformation related to coronavirus issues.
In addition to this, many suspected coronavirus carriers are either showing less interest in undergoing tests or hiding information in fear of isolation and social stigma, health experts said warning that this tendency may jeopardise the government’s efforts to contain the pandemic.
