• Widely known COVID–19 is a pandemic. It stands for Corona virus diseases–19. The virus was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern regarding COVID-19 on January 30, 2020 and later declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020. As of May 11, 2021 more than 158 Million cases have been confirmed, with more than 3.29 Million deaths attributed to COVID-19 making it one of the deadliest pandemic in history.
• The COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh is a part of the Worldwide pandemic of Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The first confirmed cases were recorded in Bangladesh on March 08, 2020. Since then, the pandemic has spread day by day over the whole nation and the number of affected people has been increasing. Educational institutions remained close for over one year. Amidst rising numbers of cases the planned reopening of educational institutions, scheduled for March 30, 2021 was again postponed until May 23, 2021 according to an announcement by the Ministry of Education in March 2021.
• COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost all sectors of economy. The Government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina pragmatically and efficiently has been managing the COVID-19 situation within the constitutional framework of normal times. The effort and measures to tackle the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic by the Government of Bangladesh is indeed praiseworthy.
