With the number of Covid-19 new cases rising every day over last several days, a team of researchers said Bangladesh may observe another peak of novel coronavirus infection in mid-July. They projected that the daily cases might reach the highest -- 9,698 -- on July 11, if the test figure increases to 50,000 daily. If the government's test capacity remains as it is, the new cases may be 7,743 on that day. Since mid-May, daily new cases and deaths started rising steadily following a downward trend from the latest peak in mid-April. In 24 hours ending at 8:00am yesterday, 41 more people died from Covid-19 -- which is the highest since May 9, when 56 people breathed their last, said a press release of health directorate.
