He is now receiving treatment at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the CMH, his personal secretary Mohammad Koyes Miah told UNB on Tuesday.
Koyes said Mokabbir received the Covid-19 test report today confirming that he contracted the deadly virus.
He, however, said the MP’s condition has improved slightly as he has been given oxygen support. “His (Mokabbir’s) breathing problem eased slightly.”
On Monday, Mokabbir was admitted to the CMH with fever, cough and breathing problem.
Soon after his admission, the MP’s samples were collected at the CMH for coronavirus test.

In 26 years' history of Gonoforum, Mokabbir is the only leader of the party who became MP with its ticket and symbol.
