Bangladesh Health Min questions people who doubt reports of COVID-19

Dhaka, Mar 29 (UNI) Criticising people who doubt the number of coronavirus infected people reported by the Bangladesh Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) in the daily briefing, health minister Zahid Maleque on Sunday asked if they would be happy if the number rose.
Many people are asking why the number (of coronavirus infected) was so low. Would we be happy if the number is higher? Do we want more people to be infected? More people to die? We want none in our country to be infected, no one to die of COVID-19. That is the most important thing, he said.
The minister was speaking at the regular online press briefing of IEDCR director Meerjady Sabrina Flora about latest situation of coronavirus cases in the country.
