3. The New Coronavirus
• COVID-19 – otherwise known as Coronavirus disease – has
been dominating the headlines recently. While it is spreading
quickly across parts of Asia and beyond, there are simple
precautions you can make to reduce the risk of infection and
transmission.

4. The New
Coronavirus2019 new coronavirus, abbreviated as 2019-
nCoV, is a new coronavirus strain found in
humans in 2019. Symptoms of the virus are
fever, fatigue, dry cough, and dyspnea
gradually appearing. In severe cases, acute
respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock,
difficult to correct metabolic acidosis, and
coagulopathy.

More common in winter and spring,
can be distributed or outbreak
The main clinical manifestations are
fever, soreness, dyspnea in a small part,
and lung infiltration.
Viral pneumonia is related to the
virulence of the virus, the route of
infection, and the age and immune
status of the host.
The viruses that cause viral
pneumonia are common with
influenza viruses.
Others are parainfluenza virus,
cytomegalovirus, adenovirus,
rhinovirus and coronavirus.
Avoid closed, airless public places
and crowded places

6. How Dangerous is it?
• Like other respiratory illnesses, it can cause mild symptoms
including a runny nose, sore throat, cough, and fever. It can be
more severe for some persons and can lead to pneumonia or
breathing difficulties and organ failure. More rarely, the disease
can be fatal. Older people, and people with pre-existing medical
conditions appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely
ill with the virus.

C ommon t ransmission rout es
droplets
Respiratory droplet transmission is
the main route of transmission and
can also be transmitted through
contact.
Respiratory
When the carrier coughs or sneezes,
or when medical personnel perform
medical operations on the patient,
droplets or aerosols with pathogens
are formed, and the susceptible person
gets an infection when inhaled.
Contact
spread
For example, rubbing the eyes and
nose with contaminated hands and
towels, the virus can enter the body
through the mucous membranes.

9. How COVID-19 spread in Bangladesh?
• Bangladesh on Sunday announced the first cases of COVID-19
detected on its soil, joining nations grappling with the outbreak
of the novel coronavirus that has now infected more than
100,000 people around the globe, according to the World
Health Organization

10. How COVID-19 spread in Bangladesh?
• “We have confirmed three cases of novel coronavirus in
Bangladesh. Of them, two are men and the other is a woman,”
Dr. Meerjady Sabrina Flora, director of the state-run Institute of
Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research, told a news
conference in Dhaka.

11. Bangladesh is at high risk
• During the outbreak the Bangladeshi ready-made garment
industry, the engine of the nation’s economy, has suffered big
losses that have yet to be quantified through actual numbers,
industry sources told BenarNews last week. Global fears
around the spread of the virus have disrupted the sector’s
supply chain, which relies heavily on fabrics imported from
China, they said.

12. Biggest Public Works Project– PADMA
Bridge
• Elsewhere, China-backed infrastructure projects, such as the
construction of the Padma Bridge – Bangladesh’s biggest public
works project – have slowed as a side-effect of the outbreak.
For weeks, Chinese engineers and employees working on the
bridge have been stuck back home in China due to travel
restrictions tied to COVID-19.

13. Conclusion
• This coronavirus is spreading at a breakneck speed and it is
important to put all the necessary resources into halting it. We
may not know enough about the virus’s impact on children or
how many may be affected – but we do know that close
monitoring and prevention are key. Time is not on our side.”
