尽管实施了数月的封锁和其他公共卫生措施，南亚国家仍在努力控制COVID-19大流行。本综述旨在描述在应对COVID-19的公共卫生准备方面的流行病学特征和不足，并从孟加拉国的这些事件中吸取教训。我们已经证明，在封锁期间，人员流动性明显增加。超过2万名一线卫生工作者受到影响，据报道，2100多例可能与COVID-19诊断有关的非官方死亡。在感染（71%）和死亡（77%）方面，男性比女性受到的影响不成比例。据报告，50%以上的感染病例发生在年轻人（20-40岁年龄组）中。在大流行发生7个月后，实验室检测阳性百分比出现下降趋势，尽管每天新增死亡人数基本保持不变。我们相信，我们的研究结果、观察结果和建议仍将是宝贵的资源，有助于改善公共卫生实践和政策，在资源贫乏的发展中国家管理COVID-19等当前和未来的传染病。COVID-19，大流行，孟加拉国，达卡，流行病学，SARS-CoV2。
South Asian countries have been struggling to control the COVID-19 pandemic despite imposing months of lockdown and other public health measures. This review aims to describe the epidemiological features and shortcomings in public health preparedness to tackle COVID-19 as well as derive lessons from these events in the context of Bangladesh. We have shown that an increase in human mobility was evident throughout the lockdown period. Over 20,000 frontline health workers were affected, and more than 2100 unofficial deaths possibly linked with COVID-19 diagnosis were reported. Males were disproportionately affected in terms of infection (71%) and death (77%) than females. Over 50% of infected cases were reported among young adults (20-40-year age group). After seven months into the pandemic, a downward trend in laboratory test positive percentage was seen, although the number of new deaths per day remained largely unchanged. We believe our findings, observations and recommendations will remain as a valuable resource to facilitate better public health practice and policy for managing current and future infectious disease like COVID-19 in resource-poor developing countries.
