“…A Prompt making of required policy and proactive measurements are essential to increase readiness (Sultana et al, 2020). A strategic plan like implementing herd immunity can be very suitable for the Bangladesh context and gradual easing of general restrictions (Mahmood, 2020).…”

“…Unfortunately, privacy policy related to the contact tracing app is available in developed countries, but Bangladesh is yet to address this issue by conducting proper research (Hasan, 2020). Screening and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), be specific to every workplace, should also be implemented in every industry (Sultana et al, 2020). Research indicates that screening, SOP, and contact tracing are practical, proactive measurement tools against asymptomatic carrier transmission (Bai et al, 2020).…”

Impact of COVID-19 Crisis on Healthcare Sector in Bangladesh and Possible Solutions

Like most other countries in the world, the recent COVID-19 outbreak has severely impacted the healthcare sectors in Bangladesh. Despite a very late response to the COVID-19 outbreak, many governments and non-government initiatives have been launched to deal with the crisis in Bangladesh. However, it is evidenced that there is a severe dearth of health personnel, ICU beds, ventilators, PPE, and other required medical equipment for health professionals. The inadequate and ill-timed response from the government has resulted in an increased rate of infection and deaths. Moreover, Non-COVID-19 patients suffer from accessing their regular treatments, primarily due to the lack of safety provided to the health professionals. Therefore, rapid and proactive measurements, digital interventions at a large scale (e.g., use of mHealth and artificial intelligence), decentralization (e.g., equal support and availability of facilities in both rural and urban areas), healthcare budget, multi-party coordination, boosting support for private startups, and increasing testing and treating facilities are highly recommended as possible solutions.

“…The countries with high population density in the SA region (Streatfield and Karar 2008) experiencing the chance of fast community transmission. Traditional cultural, religious and political events of big social gatherings and customs might be the core factor for community transmission in SA countries (Sultana, 2020). COVID-19 can be rapidly transmitted from person-to-person that makes this pandemic quite challenging to control.…”

This study explores the regional pattern of association between health risk exposure and resilience outcome in South Asian countries with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. This exercise unveils the elements of resilience that contribute to getting prepared in confronting COVID-19 risk in South Asia, using secondary information and knowledge from the Governments, WHO, UNDP Human Development Index (HDI), European Commission’s COVID-19 Risk Index and the World Bank’s Air Connectivity Index. Methodology and Scope of the paper differ from previous contributions from a holistic policy point of view, since human development, geo-demographic vulnerability, government effectiveness and socio-economic outcome variables are considered in context to the public health condition and epidemic risk at the national level. Based on statistical evidence, South Asian countries fall into three categories (i) high resilient with low pandemic impact (Maldives, Bhutan and Sri Lanka), (ii) Medium resilient having a high impact (India and Bangladesh) and (iii) Low resilient but high impact (Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nepal). Beyond resilience, this study also flags geo-demographic issues such as population density, geographical isolation either being an island or landlocked mountainous countries and air travel connectivity as influencing or barrier factors in the spreading of epidemic disease. This paper serves the purpose of designing risk-informed effective policy responses to constrain negative effects of future pandemics and similar infectious diseases and sensitize countries to get prepared for “build back better” as well.

Factors That Determine Areas Into Containment Zones of A Disease- A Review

Containment zones, or areas with strictly enforced restrictions regarding social interactions and selfprotective behaviour, are basically demarcated to ensure that in the early stages or at the least, as soon as possible, a disease is confined to particular areas and not allowed to spread to unaffected areas. Influenced by ecological, environmental, pathogenic and demographic factors, which still are just a few of the many formative factors, implementing such demarcations have helped prevent worsening situations in many cases. Building containment zones require analysing experiences from previous attacks of a disease, mathematical modelling and social spread pattern identification, as well as understanding the progression of the disease from rural areas to urban metro cities. Moreover, on account of the diverse characterisation of a geographical area and its population, all the parts of the area will not be uniformly affected. Thus, developing containment zones and implementing them require strategic planning. Further, if effectively dealt with and reviewed, containment zones even transform back into safe zones. This review will assess the necessity of a containment zone, its emergence and factors influencing it, its relation with hotspots and finally, how it could be transformed into safe zones, free of disease constraints.
