Coronavirus infections are on the rise again around the world. Of these, the highly contagious type of corona, Omicron, has spread to many countries around the world. So everyone should wear a mask to prevent infection.
However, it is seen that people are not wearing masks in various tourist spots including Cox's Bazar. This has increased the risk of infection.
Health and Family Welfare Minister Zahid Malek told reporters at the start of a meeting at the secretariat on Tuesday (December 21).
The health minister said, "We can see that people are not following the hygiene rules." .They are roaming the tourist centers and political rallies without masks. There is a risk of increasing corona infection.
Regarding the booster dose, Zahid Malek said that the "Surokkha" app is being updated. We are now vaccinating a limited number of frontliners. In addition, you can give a booster dose with your vaccine card.
The health minister further said that the highly contagious type of corona, Omicron, has not yet spread in the country.
