Bangladeshi labour counsellor in Jeddah infected with Covid-19

A Bangladeshi labour counsellor working in Jeddah has been infected with Covid-19, foreign ministry said today.

The official worked closely with Saudi authorities since the deadly pandemic emerged to ensure that some 4,000 Bangladeshi migrants in a Madina dormitory go through Covid-19 tests.

Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen has prayed for his early recovery, and called upon all Bangladesh mission officials to work with caution during this pandemic.
