The country also reported seven new COVID-19 cases, with the daily test positivity rate jumping to 3.87 percent in the 24 hours till 8:00 a.m. local time Saturday. Official data showed that 174 samples were tested in the last 24 hours.

Amid a fresh rise in COVID-19 infections in several neighboring countries, the Bangladeshi interim government has asked people to refrain from traveling to those destinations unless absolutely necessary.

 

The authorities here have also instructed relevant departments to enhance health screening and surveillance measures at all ports to contain the spread of the infection.
