The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) recently wrote to the authorities of the country's land, sea and air ports in this regard, confirmed official sources. 

Earlier, people entering the country had to complete the health declaration form by hand before immigration at the port grounds.

One must visit the link – http://healthdeclaration.dghs.gov.bd – and fill out the form with all necessary information.

After that, the passengers will get a virtual health card with a QR code on it.

A printed copy of the card will be inspected by the concerned officials during departure.

After arrival, passengers will have to show their health cards to the port authorities to be allowed inside the country.
