Health and Family Welfare Minister Zahid Maleque said the government has a plan to inoculate one crore people every month in a bid to prevent coronavirus infections and is working accordingly.
The health minister disclosed the plan at a press conference held at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) in the capital on Sunday (July 25) noon.
“75 percent of Covid-19 patients admitted to hospitals in cities are from villages. The infection rate has increased by five to six folds since people traveled to villages during the Eid vacation.
