At present, there is no shortage of production and supply of oxygen in the country, Director General of Health Services (DGHS) has said.
However, the health directorate in a bulletin on Sunday afternoon warned the rise of Covid patients in hospitals may intensify the oxygen crisis.
In the bulletin, DGHS spokesperson Md Nazmul Islam said the rate of coronavirus transmission has risen to 51 percent in the 26th week of this year than that of the previous week (25th week). At the same time, the rate of death has been increased by 46 percent.
When asked about the deaths of Covid patients due to shortage of oxygen in different districts including Satkhira and Bogura, the official said probe bodies have been formed to look into the allegation.
“We will inform journalists after the completion of an investigation," Nazmul Islam made the assurance.
