Coronavirus: Bangladesh won’t suspend flights to middle east

Health Minister Zahid Malik said Bangladesh government has no plan to suspend flights to any region of middle east even after Coronavirus outbreak gets worse.

The Minister on Tuesday came up with the statement at the conference of the ministry after Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Li Jiming handed over ‘Real-time PCR kits’ to detect coronavirus.

Zahid Malik said, “The government has no plan to suspend flights to middle east including Iran. We have warned all our citizens.”

He, however, said number of flights to all countries has already been decreased as people restricted their movement. So, the tourism industry is suffering more. It means people themselves have reduced their movement.
