The present study investigates the relationship between the transmission of COVID-19 infections and climate indicators in Dhaka City, Bangladesh, using coronavirus infections data available from the Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR), Bangladesh. The Spearman-ranked correlation test was carried out to study the association of seven climate indicators, including humidity, air quality, minimum temperature, precipitation, maximum temperature, mean temperature and wind speed with the COVID-19 outbreak in Dhaka City, Bangladesh. The study found that, among the seven indicators, only three indicators (air quality, minimum temperature and average temperature) have a significant relationship with new COVID-19 cases. The results of this paper will give health regulators and policymakers valuable information to lessen the COVID-19 infection in Dhaka and other countries around the world.

Introduction; Inclusive education has introduced and got special attention for the last few years in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is the country that emphasized the global agreement that protects the rights of children with disabilities. The Country has also taken several legislative and policy actions towards nationalizing these global commitments such as the Right to quality education to children with disabilities. The private schools of this country accommodate a big number of children and are not aware of the policy therefore it is important to explore the existing situation. Aim; the study aimed to find out the attitude of primary school authority about the inclusion of children with disabilities in their mainstream of the system. Method; Thirty Non-Governments Primary schools were selected conveniently which were situated in a different part of Dhaka city. A semi-structured questionnaire was developed and given to the school authority. The collected data analyzed qualitatively and presented in a narrative format. Result and discussion; Most of the school authority showed a positive attitude towards inclusion but they also identified several barriers predominantly the lack of physical accessibility and trained teachers. Conclusion and Recommendation; As Private schools are accommodating a massive amount of students in Bangladesh for education, it is very important to have an inclusive schooling system for special needs children in those private schools. The study found most of the school authorities have a positive attitude. Therefore, the Government and Nongovernment help is required.
