Large-scale infection of healthcare professionals can worsen the current situation of the Coronavirus outbreak in Bangladesh, as the country suffers from an acute shortage of such workers, compounded by their maldistribution.    The number of infected health workers has increased manifold alongside the surging overall caseload in Bangladesh.   Around 100 healthcare professionals, including 54 doctors, tested positive for Covid-19 in the country as of April 14, according to Bangladesh Doctors’ Foundation (BDF). This number has likely increased further since then.    BDF founder and Chief Administrator Dr Nirupam Das said two doctors are undergoing treatment in ICUs while one has died so far.   Most of the doctors infected were in Dhaka and Narayanganj—two major clusters of community transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which causes Covid-19.   Dr Nirupam also said more than 300 healthcare professionals are currently in home-quarantine.    The figures on April 14 marked a threefold rise in the number of infected healthcare professionals in just a few days.
