2020 年初，2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 从中国迅速传播到世界上大多数其他国家，导致数百万人死亡。为了防止病毒传播，世界各国政府采取了各种应对措施。本文的目标是讨论该国在 2020 年 6 月之前为抗击该病毒所采取的措施，找出这些措施有效性的差距，并为这些差距提供可能的缓解措施。采取的措施包括在国际航空和陆路口岸部署筛查设备、暂停和关闭来自受 COVID-19 影响的国家的航班，以及宣布和延长国家公共假期（相当于其他国家的封锁）。已发现的差距包括检测试剂盒、个人防护装备、重症监护室床位和呼吸机短缺、公众意识有限以及国家和国际合作伙伴之间的协调与协作不足。政府和组织之间适当和及时的风险测绘、准备、沟通、协调和合作以及公众意识和参与本可以在孟加拉国提供充分的 COVID-19 缓解措施。
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread rapidly from China to most other countries around the world in early 2020 killing millions of people. To prevent virus spread, world governments implemented a variety of response measures. This paper’s objectives were to discuss the country’s adopted measures to combat the virus through June 2020, identify gaps in the measures’ effectiveness, and offer possible mitigations to those gaps. The measures taken included screening device deployment across international air and land ports, flight suspensions and closures from COVID-19 affected countries, and declaration and extension of a national public holiday (equivalent to lockdowns in other countries). Identified gaps were test kit, PPE, ICU beds, and ventilator shortages, limited public awareness, and insufficient coordination and collaboration among national and international partners. Proper and timely risk mapping, preparedness, communication, coordination, and collaboration among governments and organizations, and public awareness and engagement would have provided sufficient COVID-19 mitigation in Bangladesh.
