Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has expressed fears that the coronavirus could worsen the situation in the winter. In a video conference in Dhaka on Sunday (September 20th), the Prime Minister said winter is coming. In some cases, the situation may worsen further. We have to prepare to deal with it from this moment.
Mentioning that it has been possible to deal with Corona in the country due to the sincere efforts of all, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that the epidemic situation could worsen in winter. So everyone has to prepare in advance.
He was speaking at a ceremony to receive a check for donations to the Prime Minister's Relief and Welfare Fund in the morning (September 20).
This year's grant-taking activities were held in a virtual arrangement. Sheikh Hasina was involved in it online from Ganobhaban. Officials of various individuals and organizations of the country handed over checks to the relief and welfare fund in the hands of the Chief Secretary at the Prime Minister's Office.
At that time, a total of Tk 165.70 crore was given to the Prime Minister's Relief and Welfare Fund by various organizations including the Bangladesh Association of Banks-BAB. The Prime Minister said the government is working to run the financial institutions smoothly.
After such remarks of the Prime Minister, the question has arisen in the minds of many. How bad can the situation be in winter? Why or why not?
In this context, the former Additional Director General of the Department of Health and Professor of Microbiology. Sania Tahmina told the media that the corona infection started last year in winter, in December. At that time, it was seen that it spread rapidly in cold countries. As a result, there are fears around the world that the disease may increase again in the winter.
The World Health Organization has already warned that the coronavirus epidemic could become more severe in the coming winter. Coronavirus infections have been on the rise again, especially in the northern hemisphere since before winter.
Winter is ideal for the temperature at which the coronavirus grows, can spread easily or spread rapidly. This is why it is thought that the spread of the virus may be higher in the winter. Due to the low humidity in the air at this time, when sneezing or coughing, small particles of germs floating in the air for a long time. It is quickly destroyed during the summer but stays in the air for a long time during the winter. As a result, people are at higher risk of becoming infected.
Temperatures of four degrees Celsius have been found to be particularly favorable for coronaviruses. The ultraviolet rays of sunlight neutralize the virus. But the amount of ultraviolet rays is less during winter. But there is no scientific evidence that the corona virus is more prevalent in winter. It is often seen that many diseases like common cold and cough increase in winter.
Since immunizations against the virus have not yet arrived on the market, the only way to prevent it is to maintain social distance and adhere to health regulations. To ensure their own safety, everyone must insist on following health rules. The things that have been said for so long, such as hand washing, sneezing, coughing, etiquette, must be observed more strictly. At the same time, the issues of maintaining social distance must be continued. However, health officials in Bangladesh have hinted that issues like lockdown are not being considered at the moment.
The government is making new plans to prevent the newcomers from settling down in winter. Experts say more attention needs to be paid to the feeling of looseness in this stable state of infection.
Bangladesh has adopted a lot to the current stage of the corona epidemic. Everybody is trying to return to normal life keeping in mind the issue of infection. Although the number of victims is still low. Winter is coming upon him. Many experts fear that the outbreak may increase again at that time.
The Prime Minister himself has said that he will work on the issue now. Meanwhile, keeping in mind the second wave of winter, work has started to implement the plan, said IEDCR Chief Scientific Officer. ASM Alamgir.
However, Professor Ridwanur Rahman, a public health expert, said that the ongoing measures to deal with corona should be made more effective by winter.
But experts say there is no alternative to hygiene until an effective vaccine is found.
