HAIKOU (Xinhua): A team of medical experts sent by the Chinese government departed on Monday from Haikou, south China's Hainan Province, for Bangladesh to help the country fight Covid-19 (coronavirus).
The team, organised by the National Health Commission, consists of 10 experts from Hainan.
The team members, specialising in areas including public health, infectious diseases, intensive care, and respiratory diseases, will work in Bangladesh for 15 days.
During their stay in Bangladesh, Chinese experts will exchange experiences with their local counterparts and provide guidance for medics on the prevention, control, diagnosis and treatment of Covid-19.
The team also carried urgently needed medical supplies donated by Hainan, including medical masks and medical protective clothing.
Themain reason for the assistance was because the number of infections in the South Asian nation was almost 70,000.
Bangladesh confirmed 2,735 new cases of the virus on Monday, raising its total to 68,504, including 930 deaths. Bangladesh has been struggling to deal with the virus and a falling economy because of a nationwide lockdown. - Xinhua/Asian News Network
