Abstract
COVID-19 in the Rohingya refugee camps of Bangladesh: challenges and mitigation strategies
Highlights
Given the vulnerabilities, since reporting of the first case of COVID-19 from Bangladesh on 8th March 2020, there has been heightened global concern around the potential impact of the pandemic within the Rohingya refugee camps
The study predicted that there could be >2,000 deaths associated with COVID-19 in the Rohingya refugee camps [5]
We read with great interest this timely paper by Kamal A-H M et al titled “Translational Strategies to Control and Prevent Spread of COVID-19 in the Rohingya Refugee Camps in Bangladesh”, where authors highlight some of the key challenges and strategies to control the transmission of COVID-19 within the Rohingya refugee camps
Summary
Since reporting of the first case of COVID-19 from Bangladesh on 8th March 2020, there has been heightened global concern around the potential impact of the pandemic within the Rohingya refugee camps. A rapid transmission of the pandemic within the refugee camps would result in hundreds of deaths and quickly exhaust the limited capacity of the health care system within the camps.
