Bangladesh is safe now: Health minister

Health Minister Zahid Maleque said, "When coronavirus hit the country first in March, there were lots of rumours. But Bangladesh has the lowest death rate from the coronavirus in relation to infections. Bangladesh is much safer now."

The minister said this while addressing an inaugural ceremony of National Vitamin A Plus Campaign-2020 in the capital on Sunday.

Zahid Maleque said, in terms of Covid-19 cases and fatality rate, Bangladesh is in a better position than neighbouring India or Europe-America.

"It is all due to proper direction from the Prime Minister and relentless efforts of the health workers," he said.

The health minister also said, "The healthy children of today will be Bangladesh's leaders of tomorrow. If the children are vaccinated, their future health is ensured."

The national Vitamin A Plus campaign was launched across the country on Sunday, aiming to feed Vitamin A capsules to children aged between six and 59 months.

The campaign will continue until October 17; children aged between six and 12 months will be given blue capsules, while those aged from one to five years will be fed red capsules.
