4 die after showing Covid-19 symptoms
At least four people with Covid-19 symptoms died in two districts since Monday evening.
Of them, three were from Cumilla's Muradnagar and Nangolkot upazilas while the other was from Noakhali's Begumganj upazila.
One of the deceased -- a 70-year-old man -- had been suffering from fever and diarrhoea for the last couple of days.
Locals said some of his relatives from Narayanganj visited his home a few days ago and he started showing Covid-19 symptoms since then.
He died on Monday night at his residence which has been put under lockdown after the death, said Avishek Das, upazila nirbahi officer (UNO) of Muradnagar.
Another deceased aged about 50 returned his village home in Nangolkot upazila from Chattogram a few days back.
He had been suffering from fever and respiratory disease and died on Monday night, said Lamia Saiful Islam, UNO of Nangolkot.
Another 25-year-old man died with similar symptoms at his residence in the same upazila on Monday evening.
He used to work at Kusthia and returned to his village home with coronavirus symptoms three days ago, Lamia said, adding that he did not seek any medical attention and breathed his last on Monday.
In Noakhali, a 45-year-old man died on Tuesday morning after showing coronavirus symptoms.
He had been suffering from fever, cold and respiratory disease for the last few days.
As his physical condition deteriorated, family members took him to Noakhali General Hospital around 11:00am where duty doctors declared him dead, said locals.
He was brought dead to the hospital. His sample has been collected for coronavirus test, said Syed Mohiuddin Abdul Azim, resident medical officer of the hospital.
