随着冠状病毒在全球范围内迅速爆发，许多国家正在采取非治疗性预防措施，包括旅行禁令，远程办公活动，国家封锁，以及最重要的社交距离。然而，这些措施在孟加拉国面临挑战，孟加拉国是一个中低收入经济体，人口众多，是世界上最贫穷的国家之一。在该国许多地区，保持社交距离很困难，而且该国资源有限，实施缓解措施将极具挑战性。移动的消毒设施和临时隔离场所以及医疗设施可以帮助减轻大流行病在地方一级的影响。政府、公民和卫生专家之间迅速、支持和同情的合作，沿着国际援助，可以使该国能够尽量减少这一流行病的影响。
As the coronavirus outbreak quickly surges worldwide, many countries are adopting non-therapeutic preventive measures, which include travel bans, remote office activities, country lockdown, and most importantly, social distancing. However, these measures face challenges in Bangladesh, a lower-middle-income economy with one of the world's densest populations. Social distancing is difficult in many areas of the country, and with the minimal resources the country has, it would be extremely challenging to implement the mitigation measures. Mobile sanitization facilities and temporary quarantine sites and healthcare facilities could help mitigate the impact of the pandemic at a local level. A prompt, supportive, and empathic collaboration between the Government, citizens, and health experts, along with international assistance, can enable the country to minimize the impact of the pandemic.
