New Delhi (NVI): Bangladesh saw an alarming rise in coronavirus cases today as 209 more cases were reported with COVID-19 in the last 24 hours, raising the total number of infected people to 1,012.
Besides, 7 more people died from the virus raising the number of total deaths to 39, according to United News of Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, no new recoveries from the disease have been reported in the last 24 hours.
In addition to this, young people have joined the government, political parties and other social organisations to extend support to thousands of low-income people, especially those living from hand to mouth, during the country’s lockdown to curb the transmission of coronavirus, according to media reports.
The low-income group is the worst sufferer as economic activities have almost come to a grinding halt after the government announced holidays since March 26.
