Bangladesh s Covid-19 cases are on the rise again. On July 27, the country registered the highest number of daily Covid-related deaths so far: 258. At the time of writing this article, Bangladesh has crossed the grim landmark of 20,000 Covid deaths. The total caseload, on the other hand, is around 1.2 million. The situation at the district levels is worsening at the moment, with local hospitals grappling to provide medical care to the Covid-infected patients. And, after the Eid-related migration of people to their hometowns, the cases are expected to witness a further spike in the coming weeks. In the face of this crisis, our only defence is a robust and effective mass vaccination programme.
