Spread of Covid-19 infection is on the rise in Bogura district which has been identified as red zone, with the number of patients in the hospital increasing. The reluctance of the people to abide by the rules of health even after the campaign of the mobile court of the district administration and the campaign of the information office is becoming a major reason of the spread of Covid-19 infection. Most of the people can be seen moving without masks.
In the last 24 hours, 108 more covid-19 positive patients have been identified. In 238 sample tests, the infection rate was 45.34 percent. The total number of deaths remained unchanged as no one was killed. 57 people are undergoing treatment in 3 specialized hospitals in the district. The day before, 111 people had been infected with 326 samples.
