This document summarizes the Covid-19 situation in Bangladesh. It provides an aggregate view of the pandemic nationally, showing increasing infection rates with over 1.78 million total cases. Regionally, more densely populated and accessible areas have been more severely impacted. Insights from limited testing data suggest the situation is worsening daily. The pandemic has had major negative effects on society and the economy, including declines in GDP, exports, remittances and rising poverty levels. Positive environmental impacts have included reduced pollution. Moving forward, the conclusion discusses increasing digitalization, education technology, healthcare systems and addressing unemployment.

population living below the poverty line is simulated to be 34.1–44 per
cent against the pre-crisis estimate of 20.5 per cent.
