Aid workers have warned of a potential humanitarian disaster if an outbreak spreads in the refugee camps.
DHAKA - The novel coronavirus has been detected in one of the southern Bangladesh camps that are home to more than a million Rohingya refugees, officials said on Thursday, as humanitarian groups warned the infection could devastate the crowded settlement.
The other patient was from the “host population”, a term usually referring to local residents outside the camps, the U.N. spokeswoman said. Dr. Shamim Jahan, Save the Children’s health director in Bangladesh, said in a statement the virus already had overwhelmed the country. U.S. ambassador at large for international religious freedom, Sam Brownback, told Washington reporters by phone: “I’ve been to the refugee camp. It is incredibly crowded that the COVID virus will spread through there very rapidly, unfortunately. They have to have access to adequate healthcare”.
