How would Sanemi and Tengen react if they were jealous? For example,a random guy looked at his wife and said a compliment.

❕Sanemi and Tengen’s reaction of a guy trying to hit on his wife.

Someone is trying to hit on you while you’re on a date with your husband. How will he react?

Note: Thank you so much for requesting! I had lots of fun writing this. Sorry about Tengen’s part being so short, I got really tired. My requests are open and I look forward to writing more! <3

Pairing: Sanemi, Tengen x fem!reader

(Creep behaviour in Sanemi’s part, mentioning of sickness and vomiting in Tengen’s)

💚 Sanemi Shinazugawa 💚

— Sanemi really looked forward to finally go on a cute, simple date with you again. He’s a very busy person with a lot of responsibilities, and he felt like he was neglecting you for a while now. So, Sanemi planned out a cute date for you two: first stop, the main city. A new restaurant just opened and Kyojuro seemingly really enjoyed it, so he decided to take you out for a nice night. After eating, Sanemi wanted to take a walk with you on the outskirts and maybe do some light shopping, and then finish the night off with making some desserts together at home.

— Sanemi held you close to himself, lazily wrapping his arm around your waist and glancing at you every now and then. You made yourself look so pretty tonight, he can’t help but stare a little. Your pattern kimono was matching his new yukata he recently bought. You’ve made your hair look really pretty tonight, even though it’s always gorgeous.

— After eating out, he spotted a gold-plated hairpin with green gems in a shopwindow. He didn’t want you to spot it right away and gift it to you as a nice present to remember this day by, so Sanemi send you out on a mission to go to the sweet-stand across the street and grab some sweets for yourself and some ohagi for him.

— As you were ordering, you cannot help but notice how overly friendly the stand-owner was talking to you. He asked you what moved you to be out here tonight, what you were planning on doing and if you were alone. You mentioned multiple times that you were here with your husband, and that you were buying the ohagi for that said husband. The owner didn’t seem to care and shrugged it off.

“How about we talk for a little more? You’re nice company, and I might give you this stuff for free if you do.”

— This guy was seriously creepy. You expressed multiple times that you had a husband and were not really interested in holding a longer conversation with him. That made the owner pout and whine about your behaviour and how ungrateful you are. He just offered to give this to you for free!

“Didn’t you hear her, dipshit? She’s. Not. Interested.”

— While you two talked, Sanemi came back from the shop. He was surprised that you weren’t finished purchasing yet, so he wanted to make sure everything’s alright. That’s when he noticed how uncomfortable you seemed. You had a scowl on your face and your eyebrows were furrowed. You seemingly still tried to be nice and kindly push this creep away in a nicer and gentle manner and just get the damn sweets you ordered, but that guy just kept going.

— Sanemi was fucking mad. He waited to have this nice date with you since forever, and now this creep was fucking ruining it. He balled his hands into fists after threatening the stand owner, standing beside you. His blood is boiling, and it’s starting to get hard to hold back and make sure this guy will never be able to creep out another woman like this with more violent means.

— Realising that Sanemi was the husband you meant, the owner apologised to you and handed you your sweets and ohagi. He seemingly didn’t expect your husband to be this intimidating looking.

— After walking off and taking a small walk, not even ohagi managed to lift his mood. Sanemi was so pissed at this creep for making you uncomfortable. Ohhh, how badly he just wants to go back and beat this shithead into the curb.

— Sanemi’s mood lightened up slightly after seeing your happy face when he gifted you the hairpin after you and him got back home. He was glad that this date night wasn’t complete shit.

“Let’s go on another date again. This time in the woods or something, picking flowers n’ shit. I don’t wanna go back there for a while.”

🩷 Tengen Uzui 🩷

— Tengen and you went out to run some errands. The other girls got sick with the flu and you and your husband are the only ones who are still healthy. So, you two went out to grab some medicine, food, (a new carpet after Makio accidentally threw up on the old one) and some blankets for you and your husband, since Makio, Suma and Hinatsuru stole the cosiest ones.

— While you two shopped, Tengen remembered that he promised to pick up a basket of sweet potatoes for his friend Kyojuro the next time he went out. So, he quickly dashed off to grab one.

— But while Tengen was gone, another man quickly found his place beside you and struck up a conversation.

— This man seemed nice, complimenting you on your appearance and choice of blankets. He was seemingly flirting with you, and you noticed that. You tried subtly explaining that you wanted to buy blankets for you and your husband, the husband you loved very much.

“Well, your husband is very lucky to have such a beautiful lady like you.”

“Beautiful? Surely you meant astonishingly gorgeous, flashy, beautiful AND incredibly attractive? Yes, I’m extremely lucky!”

— While this man was complimenting you, Tengen snuck up on you two and scared the life out of this random man with his voice. He easily held the basket of a sweet potato on his shoulder with one arm, towering over this man and looking down at him.

— Tengen doesn’t really get jealous. He trusts you and will instead show his affections to you right in front of the person, making them uncomfortable enough to leave. He would wrap his arm around your waist and coo at you, calling you cheesy petnames and smooching you all over your face. Sometimes, if he feels especially playful today, he’d cup your face and kisses you, holding his lips on yours for up to ten to fifteen seconds, or until you need air to breathe. This would make any person trying to flirt with you so uncomfortable, they’d quickly disappear.

— After an event like this, Tengen would tease you immensely about it.

“See? I’m not the only one who knows that I have the flashiest wife in all of Japan. No, no… the flashiest wife of the whole world!!”

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed.

Anyways, make sure to EAT, SLEEP and DRINK enough!

Project 9: Communication Campaign Plan

Course Code and Name: MSJ11401 Development Communication

Project Name: Social and Individual Behavior Change Awareness Campaign for Promoting/Ensuring inside Home Safety during Covid-19: Community and Family Perspective of a specific Area

Project Date: Spring 2020

Project Description: Making a campaign plan for a social issue was an important part of this course. Our campaign idea is intended to increase students' awareness of COVID-19-related fake news as well as home safety information. In a group project, we explained the campaign's goals, audience analysis, and communication techniques among other things, as well as timelines and budgets.

Project Justification: We were instructed to come up with a marketing idea, thus it was suggested that we focus on Covid-19 and how to stay safe at home. In order to promote and ensure inside safety during COVID-19, we started making visual content that would change people's perceptions of how to actually stay safe at home. Only a change in behavior has a significant impact.

(Goals and objectives)

SOCIAL AND INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOUR CHANGE AWARENESS CAMPAIGN FOR PROMOTING/ ENSURING INSIDE HOME SAFETY DURING COVID-19: COMMUNITY AND FAMILY PERSPECTIVE OF A SPECIFIC AREA

INTRODUCTION

To help stop the spread of coronavirus and safeguard the health of those at biggest risk, the Government said we all have to stay at home, only leaving for curtain reasons and not at all if we are in a high-risk zone. This is to reduce close contact with other people and help slow the spread of COVID-19.

Coronavirus is a contagious disease which is why it spreads faster. People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The disease spreads primarily from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth, which are expelled when a person with COVID-19 coughs, sneezes, or speaks. These droplets are relatively heavy, do not travel far and quickly sink to the ground. People can catch COVID-19 if they breathe in these droplets from a person infected with the virus. This is why it is important to stay at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from others. These droplets can land on objects and surfaces around the person such as tables, doorknobs and handrails. People can become infected by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. This is why it is important to wash your hands regularly with soap and water or clean with alcohol-based hand rub (WHO, 2020).

It spreads through touch for example: if a COVID-19 infected person just hugs you or shakes hands it spreads in your body with a blink of an eye. For individual safety we also have to ensure inside home safety. Inside home safety is very important because if someone gets infected from outside and comes back home, they can infect their other family members. If we all live together in one place, we have to maintain the safety of the house 24/7. If we ensure our community and our family’s safety then individually, we all can be safe from the spread of coronavirus. COVID-19 is a worldwide health issue and it destroyed many lives just within five months. Just within few months COVID-19 took the face of a pandemic resulting in a lockdown all over the world. It disrupted our daily lives and collapsed our economic balance. Because of the lockdown the rate of domestic violence increased all over the world. It has hampered the lives of the people who are dependent on daily income. Finally, it has a massive impact on our health which is our ultimate wealth.

On the note of health issues, I said it earlier that this virus spread faster than we can imagine, so for our individual safety we need to stay home because staying home means staying safe. That’s why we have to ensure our inside home safety and we should also think about our community. When one person in your area or in your building has tested positive for COVID-19, the whole building or area gets locked down. The reason behind locking down the entire area or the building is to delay the spread and to protect our community. We all know “charity begins at home” but for this situation we can say, “safety begins at home.” So, there we go if our safety begins at home, we need to ensure our inside safety through several ways for example, through cleaning our clothes regularly after coming home from outside. Continuously cleaning those things which we frequently touch. Continuously reminding everyone that they have to wash their hands for 20 seconds every few hours. On that note, we have to understand that to fight with coronavirus we all need to practice personal hygiene in every sector and along with the individual hygiene we also need to maintain inside home safety of our family and community because inside home safety is equally important to fight with coronavirus.

SITUATION ANALYSIS

Introduction

The situation analysis describes the whole scenario of why we should be concerned about the facts we are facing right now and what will be the situation we have to handle next. The program addresses global situations and the national situation for the COVID-19. The situation analysis should be based on data from research, program, documents and local knowledge. A situation analysis is an essential part for this campaign and should be reviewed periodically to ensure that it is current.

Concept

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2). The disease was first identified in December 2019 in WUHAN the capital of China's Hubei province. The disease causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing. You can protect yourself by washing your hands frequently, avoiding touching your face, and avoiding close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell. Coronavirus disease spreads primarily through contact with an infected person when they cough or sneeze. It also spreads when a person touches a surface or object that has the virus on it, then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth. People may be sick with the virus for 1 to 14 days before developing symptoms. The most common symptoms of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment.

More rarely, the disease can be serious and even fatal. Older people, and people with other medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), may be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill. People may experience cough, fever, tiredness and difficulty breathing (severe cases)

You can protect yourself and help prevent spreading the virus to others if you wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds, with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub, cover your nose and mouth with a disposable tissue or flexed elbow when you cough or sneeze, avoid close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell and stay home and self-isolate from others in the household if you feel unwell. The most important thing you should not do is touch your eyes, nose, or mouth if your hands are not clean.

There is no specific medicine to prevent or treat coronavirus disease (COVID-19). People may need supportive care to help them breathe. If you have mild symptoms, stay at home until you’ve recovered. You can relieve your symptoms if you rest and sleep, keep warm, drink plenty of liquids and use a room humidifier or take a hot shower to help ease a sore throat and cough.

During COVID-19 the only thing the government ordered is to "stay home stay safe" meaning we have to stay home to protect ourselves from COVID-19 virus and also stop or delay it from spreading. During these uncertain situations we also need to make sure our inside home is safe so that our family including us can be safe, especially when we are going to spend most of the time in the house all locked down under one roof. Therefore, we need to clean surfaces like tables, door handles, keyboards, light switches and remote controls very frequently. Many people are choosing home deliveries over having to go to the shops. But that is not without its risks. To limit the danger of a delivery worker potentially passing on the infection, ask them to leave the goods on your doorstep. Also avoid having guests. Always maintain social distancing and no shaking hands or hugging.

Global Situation

The first confirmed case of COVID-19 has been traced back to 1 December 2019 in Wuhan, one unconfirmed report suggests the earliest case was on 17 November Doctor Zhang observed a cluster of pneumonia cases of unknown cause on 26 December, upon which her hospital informed Wuhan Jiangshan on 27 December. Initial genetic testing of patient samples on 27 December 2019 indicated the presence of a SARS-like coronavirus. A public notice was released by Wuhan Municipal Health Commission on 31 December. The WHO was informed on the same day. As these notifications occurred, doctors in Wuhan were warned by police for "spreading rumors" about the outbreak. The Chinese National Health Commission initially claimed that there was no "clear evidence" of human-to-human transmission.

Figure -1

On 31 December 2019, the WHO China Country Office was informed of cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology (unknown cause) detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China. From 31 December 2019 through 3 January 2020, a total of 44 case-patients with pneumonia of unknown etiology were reported to WHO by the national authorities in China. During this reported period, the causal agent was not identified. On 11 and 12 January 2020, WHO received further detailed information from the National Health Commission China that the outbreak is associated with exposures in one seafood market in Wuhan City. The Chinese authorities identified a new type of coronavirus, which was isolated on 7 January 2020. On 12 January 2020, China shared the genetic sequence of the novel coronavirus for countries to use in developing specific diagnostic kits. On 13 January 2020, the Ministry of Public Health, Thailand reported the first imported case of lab-confirmed novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. On 15 January 2020, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, Japan (MHLW) reported an imported case of laboratory-confirmed 2019-novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. • On 20 January 2020, National IHR Focal Point (NFP) for the Republic of Korea reported the first case of novel coronavirus in the Republic of Korea.

Situation updated (January 20, 2020- April 9, 2020)

As of 20 January 2020, 282 confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV have been reported from four countries including China (278 cases), Thailand (2 cases), Japan (1 case) and the Republic of Korea (1 case); Cases in Thailand, Japan and Republic of Korea were exported from Wuhan City, China. Among the 278 cases confirmed in China, 258 cases were reported from Hubei Province, 14 from Guangdong Province, five from Beijing Municipality and one from Shanghai Municipality. Of the 278 confirmed cases, 51 cases are severely ill, 12 are in critical condition. Six deaths have been reported from Wuhan City. Reported incidence of confirmed 2019-nCoV cases Table 1. Countries, territories or areas with reported confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV, 20 January 2020.

Table -1

This was the first report by WHO. This graph shows how the virus affected peoples from different countries to areas. We can see there are just 282 cases in China, Japan, Republic of Korea and Thailand and it’s in about 42days. As we already discussed how coronavirus spread and it’s too important to maintain hygienic things with proper maintenance of social distance.

Figure-2

The 9th April, 2020 reports of WHO shows that 184 countries and territories around the world and two international conveyances are affected by the coronavirus COVID-19. New cases of the novel coronavirus that emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in late December are being reported daily around the world. More than 95,506 people have died from COVID19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, while some 1,596,496 infections have been confirmed in at least 184 countries and territories. More than 354,006 people have recovered to date.

In the total number of cases, the most affected country is the USA. Where about 468,566 people were infected by coronavirus and about 425,947 cases are active, 10,011 are in serious condition, 25,928 recovered and just 2,353,096 people were tested. So, the death ratio is 50 in 1 million and only 7,109 tests in 1 million. In the USA the first case was on February 15th with 15 cases. On the 9th of April it was 468,566. So, we can see in 55 days how the COVID-19 spreads in the USA. On 15th march its 69 deaths with 3,613 cases. On 31th March 4,057 deaths with 1,89,789 cases.

In Spain 153,222 infected were active cases 85,610 with series condition 7,371. The ratio 330 in 1 million, 7,593 people tested and 15.447 deaths, recovered 52,165. In Spain the total number of people tested is 3,55,000. In Spain the first case was recorded on 15th February with 3 cases. After one month in 31th march case recorded 95,923 with death cases 8,464. The first case was in March 3 with 1 death.

Chart-5

In Italy 142,626 people were infected with 18,279 deaths. About 28, 4270 people recovered, in critical condition 3,605 Italy is in the top of deaths troll in the world where 853,369 tested and 2,375 cases in 1 million. The first case in Italy was recorded on 15th February with a number of 3 cases. On the 1st march it was 1,701 cases, in 31th march it was 105,792. On 15th march deaths recorded 368, in March 21th its 793, in 27th of march its pick the highest deaths in Italy 919. After that day on the 29th of March, it hit 889 deaths. In daily new deaths Italy hits the top in 55 days of this situation.

In France 117,749 infected in 55 days and deaths troll 12,210. About 7,066 cases are in critical condition with 72,267 cases in mild condition. Recovery ratio is 23,206. In 1 million 187 people's deaths were confirmed. 5,114 people tested in 1 million where 333,807 tested in total. First death recorded on 15th April.

France hit the most deaths in one day April 7th it was 1,417. On April 2nd it was 1,355 and 3rd time it hit 1,341. So, in daily death ratio France hits back-to-back over 1000+ deaths April 2nd and 3rd.

Chart-6

In Germany the total case confirmed 118,235 cases. Where deaths 2,607 with 52,407 reordered recoveries. Serious condition 4,895, active cases in 9th April 4,949, 1,317,887 testes in total, 31 deaths in 1 million, 15,730 tests in 1 million. First case recorded 16 in February. Most deaths in one day march 27 with 6,933. In Iran the total number of cases confirmed was 66,220. Where deaths 4,110 with 32,309 recovered. Serious condition 4,895.

These are the details of seven countries which are in the top of coronavirus affected countries. The Global situation is going in the most sensitive periods. Countries all over the world are not prepared for this pandemic. People from around the world suffer from food, shelter, hygienic water, and treatments. All country's governments declare the lock down for people’s safety but all of this some countries can’t afford the pressure of lockdown. People don’t have enough food, or even not enough masks to protect themselves. After all of these tragic USA presidents Trump threatens WHO for not funding to help world health. It’s also very depressing for poor countries.

There are 79 reports by WHO which counted from the first case in Wuhan. In the last report WHO divided the cases all over the world by region. The chart shows all region with cases, deaths, recovery:

National Situation

The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic was confirmed to have spread to Bangladesh in March 2020. The first three known cases were reported by the country's Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) on 7 March 2020. As of 7 April 2020, the Government of Bangladesh has confirmed testing 3610 samples among which there are a total of 218 confirmed cases, 33 recoveries, and 20 death watches in the country.

Experts criticized that not enough tests were conducted in the country that has a population of over 160 million. Newspaper reports and social media continued to report about additional deaths of patients with COVID-19 symptoms. Some of the deceased were treated at COVID-19 isolation centers at hospitals in the districts and others were denied treatment, though no tests were conducted to confirm contagion. For a long time, testing was centralized only at the Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) in the capital Dhaka, although patients with symptoms were reported all around the country. On 22 March, Bangladesh declared a 10-day shutdown effective from 26 March to 4 April.

On 5 April 2020, in a nation-wide televised address, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh outlined measures and plans undertaken by the Government to address the COVID-19 impact. Concerning the health sector response, she referred to the National Preparedness and Response Plan for COVID-19 in Bangladesh, which was developed based on the country’s previous experience and WHO guidelines. The Prime Minister informed that public expenditure would increase and social protection space would expand. The Prime Minister unveiled stimulus packages in the total amount of BDT 72,750 crore (around US$8.5 billion and about 2.5% of GDP) to counter the effects of the COVID-19 on the country's economy.

On 5 April 2020, the Ministry of Public Administration of Bangladesh announced the extension of the general holidays to include 12-13 April 2020, as well as the Bengali New Year on 14 April. Emergency services, transportation of agricultural products, fertilizer, insecticides, fuel, newspaper, food, industrial products, medical equipment, emergency, and necessary products, as well as kitchen market, food, pharmacies, and hospitals will remain operational. There will be a limited operation of the banking system during these holidays. Public transportation (rickshaws, vans, transportation, rail, bus services) will be resumed in a phased manner.

As of 5 April 2020, among the 88 COVID-19 reported cases, 61% (54) were males. Table below is showing the age distribution of COVID-19 confirmed cases.

Table-3

There has been an increasing trend in the number of reported confirmed cases since 3 April 2020, most probably due to expansion of COVID-19 testing in the country and establishing testing capacity in 14 laboratories. By 06 April, a total of 3,610 samples were tested of which 11% (401) were tested by laboratories outside Dhaka city. In the 24 hours a total of 550 samples collected all over the country of them 23% (126) were from outside Dhaka. The overall COVID-19 test rate in Bangladesh is 2.23/100,000 population.

As of 6 April, in line with the plan adopted by the DGHS on 31 March 2020, COVID-19 testing expansion is being progressively rolled out across the country. The map shows the geographical distribution of the COVID-19 laboratories. Currently, there are 14 laboratories, which perform COVID-19 testing and number of tests conducted:

A. Inside Dhaka:

Institute of Epidemiology Disease Control & Research (IEDCR), Mohakhali, Dhaka; 2114 tests. Institute of Public Health (IPH), Mohakhali, Dhaka; 387 tests. International Centre for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh (Icddr,b) Mohakhali, Dhaka; 466 tests. Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), Cantonment, Dhaka (for personnel of Armed Force). Child Health and Research Foundation (CHRF), Dhaka Shishu Hospital (DSH), Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka; 47 tests. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Shahabag, Dhaka; 63 tests. Institute for Development of Science and Health Initiative (ideSHi), Mohakhali, Dhaka; 79 tests. National Institute of Laboratory Medicine, Agargaon, Dhaka; 05 tests.

B. Outside of Dhaka:

Cox’s Bazar (IEDCR field Lab): 21 tests. Rangpur Medical College; 42 tests. Rajshahi Medical College-Rajshahi; 66 tests. Mymensingh Medical College; 128 tests. 5. Bangladesh Institute of Tropical and Infectious Disease (BITID), Fouzderhat, Chattogram; 144 tests.

The below figure is showing the number of quarantine individuals per Division, 5 April 2020, Bangladesh

Chart-7

As of 6 April, there are 269 individuals at home quarantined; since home quarantine was established in the country to 6 April 2020, a total of 66,071 were quarantined of which 81% (53,412) were released.

Of these, 24% (15,455/66,071) were quarantined in Dhaka followed Chattogram (23%, 15.455), Khulna (22%, 14,481), Rajshahi (11%, 7,167), Rangpur (5%, 3,458), Sylhet (5%, 3,437), Barisal (5%, 3,069) and Mymensingh (4%, 2,884).

Chart-8

In Bangladesh total tests recorded 6,175 where total cases confirmed positive 330. As we can see in the graph, in April 9TH the infected 276 where 33 people recovered. Cases recorded in 1 million 2 and total deaths in 1 million 0.1. were tested in 1 million 37.

On 18 March, Bangladesh reported its first coronavirus death. The patient was aged over 70 and had various medical conditions like COPD, diabetes, hypertension, heart problems. As of March 19, a total of 397 individuals have been tested since January 21, 2020. Among all those tested, there were a total of 17 positive cases, 3 recoveries and 1 death. The third known coronavirus-related death was announced. As of March 26, a total of 920 individuals have been tested among which there are a total of 44 positive cases, 11 recoveries and 5 deaths.

On April 7, the country had the largest number of cases so far in both detected number of cases and the number of deaths, with 41 new detected cases and 5 new deaths makes the number of positive cases from 123 to 164 and deaths increased from 12 to 17. 3 more dead coronavirus infections in the last 24 hours, IEDCR said today. The death toll now stands at 20.

The UN Resident Coordinator and WHO Representative to Bangladesh circulated the draft Country Preparedness and Response Plan (CPRP) to the Embassies, Development Partners and Donors. The CPRP covers the following areas: surveillance and laboratory; contact tracing and POE; case management and infection prevention control; risk communication and community engagement; logistics and procurement. The requested amount for immediate response needs under the CPRP is USD 297 million.

As of 30 March 2020, WHO received USD 1million for the COVID-19 response in Bangladesh from global appeal (USAID and BMGF). Additionally, through local resource mobilization, WHO Bangladesh raised USD 250,000 from DFID. DFID has agreed to support USD 3 million and USD 1 million for COVID-19 response at the central level in Dhaka and in Cox’s Bazar, respectively. WHO Bangladesh also receives remote support from experts in the UK, to address the ongoing response.

Since 27 March 2020, COVID-19 testing capacity has been expanded to include additional five laboratories: Institute of Public Health (IPH), Mohakhali, Dhaka, Child Health Research Foundation at Shishu Hospital, Sher e Bangla Nagar, Dhaka, and icddr,b and Dhaka Bangladesh Institute of Tropical and Infectious Diseases, Chattogram.  WHO is working with the Directorate General of Drug Administration (DGDA) the MOHFW to develop regulatory interventions for effective market control of COVID-19 products to address potential risks for falsified medical products entering the market in light of the acute shortages in medicines and other products for management of COVID-19.

The DGHS released the new COVID-19 Case Management guidelines, aligned with the latest WHO technical guidance, and distributed it to all health facilities; training for health staff on case management is scheduled next week.  DGHS provided training in infection prevention and control (IPC) at hospitals for COVID-19 cases to 710 doctors and 43 nurses; among them two doctors from each district (one residential medical officer and one medical officer from Civil Surgeon office) got trained. The DGHS continues video training in COVID-19 hospital management and hospital infection prevention and control; the training is conducted individually for each division and its districts. As of 5 April, 915 physicians and 98 nurses received the training.

In the follow-up to discussions on sourcing the locally-produced PPE items while ensuring the quality, the DGHS and partners agreed that a qualified inspection company is essential to certify that locally produced PPE products are compliant with WHO standards. ILO will assist in identifying and engaging a technical expert to address this matter with active oversight from the DGHS and WHO regarding certification; DGHS will liaise with DGDA, as needed.

As of 6 April, the following guidelines and information notes related to COVID-19 case management and infection prevention have been developed by the DGHS: Guideline for Hospital Management of COVID-19 cases and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP); Home care guideline for mild COVID-19 patients; Guideline or Standard Operating Procedures for Disinfection and Infection Prevention and Control (IPC); Guideline for the preparation of disinfectants; Guideline and Standard Operating Procedure for Hospital Waste management; Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) on dead body management and burial/ final disposal; Rational use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to protect from COVID-19; and Guideline for the COVID-19-related waste management of hospitals and airports.

Millions of transport workers in Bangladesh have been left jobless after the government imposed a nationwide lockdown to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus.

According to rights groups and labor unions, an estimated 9 million workers have no source of income ever since March 26 when the government barred all transport operations, except emergency services.

A local organization, Bangladesh Passenger Welfare Association, has urged operators and unions to ensure support for nearly 9 million transport workers, including drivers and other staff, affected by the crisis.

“According to unofficial data, there are 7 million workers in land transport and 2 million more working in sea transport in Bangladesh. Almost all of them are facing immense troubles at the moment and are getting no help from owners, unions, or other labor bodies,” Mozammel Hoque Chowdhury, the association’s secretary general, told Anadolu Agency.

In February, the country’s Anti-Corruption Commission started an investigation over reports that Ullah earned over 10 million Bangladeshi takas ($125,000) on a daily basis through extortion in the transport sector.

The number of people infected by coronavirus are increasing every day in Dhaka and other areas. As soon as any patient of Covid-19 is detected, the building, the street or the area they live in are immediately put under lockdown by police.

The number of infected people is the highest in the capital compared to other areas due to which more areas here are being put under lockdown every single-day. Police said they are imposing a lockdown on these buildings and areas under orders from the Institute of Epidemiology Disease Control and Research (IEDCR). Till now, coronavirus patients have been detected in 27 out of 50 units of Dhaka Metropolitan City. Lockdown areas are Ramna unit’s areas under lockdown, Agrani Bank’s main branch in Motijheel under lockdown, Adabor police have locked down street number 17 of the area, five separate buildings in Razia Sultana road, Tajmahal road, Krishi Market road, Babar road and Bosila Uttar More area of Mohammadpur, a building in Nobinagar street under Mirhazaribag area. Kalabagan Central road building under lockdown, Road 11 of Khilkhet Nikunja 2 under lockdown, eight-storied building locked down in Hazaribag, 3 building in Lalbag under lockdown, 2 buildings locked down in Wari. 2 buildings locked down in Paltan, 2 buildings lockdown in Badda. Police have locked down a building in street number 15 of Gulshan-1and building number 46,48 and 50 in road 1 and also other areas lockdown in Old Dhaka

A distressing scenario vis-à-vis the negative impact of the novel coronavirus or COVID-19 on Bangladesh tourism began unfolding weeks later. By that time, a number of the COVID-19 cases had been detected in the country. Media photographs of the country's two beaches without tourists amply showed the plight of the sector. Tour operators now forecast a bleak future awaiting the sector.

Still, a section of domestic tourists dared to visit a few spots amid the panicky situation caused by the pandemic in the making. Many noticed in the desperation of these tourists their inherent love for moving out of home and visiting the sites of their choice. However, they couldn't go further. In a few days, the district and local administrations slapped stringent bans on visiting tourist spots. Hotel and motel owners were asked to discourage the eager tourists from staying at those accommodations.

Only 15% of Bangladeshi workers earn more than $6 a day. The economic shutdown sparked by COVID-19 threatens millions of livelihoods in the country imminently.

According to World Bank data, only 15% of Bangladesh’s population makes more than 500 taka ($5.90) a day. They can meet their daily expenses, send their children to school, and hope that they reserve enough for an emergency health crisis. Most villagers depend on remittances from the cities or abroad. But because this is a global crisis, people everywhere are out of work. Income has stopped. Covid-19 catches the Bangladesh financial sector at an inopportune time. Banks were trying to come to terms with the Ministry of Finance directive of 6% and 9% caps to interest rates on deposits and loans; vulnerable asset quality; moribund capital markets; and a struggling microfinance sector as access to donor funds and bank financing become more competitive.

Bangladesh's economy is also integrated with the global economy. The degree of trade openness in the economy is currently 38.24 percent. Countries such as Canada, the US, and the European Union are major export destinations for Bangladesh. Middle Eastern and South East Asian countries are sources of Bangladesh's remittances. So, economic effects on those countries will also have significant consequences for Bangladesh.

At times of economic turmoil, small businesses and startups are usually the worst hit. Raising funds is difficult as it is, for small businesses and startups. When it comes to SME’s, in an environment of 6% and 9%, access to finance will become more difficult as banks will be reluctant to make SME loans at 9%, since SME operations are more expensive for banks. It is hoped that the Government will offer SMEs some form of reprieve in the stimulus package that is being designed. For Bangladeshi startups, although the ecosystem is at an early stage, with a handful of startups responsible for a lion share of funds raised, Covid-19 has had adverse consequences.

The ADB has estimated that Bangladesh will lose about 1.1 percent of its GDP in the worst-case scenario—when the outbreak will last at least for six months. It implies that coronavirus can take away USD 3.02 billion from Bangladesh's economy. Additionally, it is also being apprehended that there could be 894,930 job losses due to a global economic downturn.

The government on Sunday announced four fresh stimulus packages worth Tk 67,750 crore to enhance its effort to overcome the economic losses due to the coronavirus situation. Prime minister Sheikh Hasina announced the packages at a press conference at her official residence Ganabhaban 12 days after she came up with the first stimulus packages of Tk 5,000 crore for the export-oriented sectors.

The overall size of the stimulus packages now stood at Tk 72,750 crore, nearly 2.52 per cent of the country’s gross domestic product, said Hasina, adding that both local and export-oriented products deserved supports amid domestic and global economic crisis caused by COVID-19 that prompted a countrywide shutdown since March 26.

Of the fresh packages, Tk 30,000 crore announced for big industries and the service sector will be distributed by commercial banks as working capital loan at 9 percent interest rate with the government providing 4.5 per cent in subsidy.

Under the second package worth Tk 20,000 crore, small and medium enterprises, including cottage industries, would also get working capital loan at 9 percent interest rate with the government giving 5 per cent subsidy.

Why Is This a Problem?

COVID-19 as known as Coronavirus has become one of the biggest international health crises in world’s history. I was watching Al Jazeera news where they reported more than 1,002,000 people have been diagnosed with the COVID-19 disease worldwide, as the death toll surpassed 51,000 while about 208,000 patients recovered.

Health related problems

During this global pandemic, the entire world is at lockdown for almost a month now. No one is allowed to leave their home without a valid reason and on top of that the news channels and social media are always showing news and giving updates on COVID-19 infected people and how many people who died because of it. This is causing people to panic and even feel anxious and depressed. This COVID-19 has affected many people mentally and physiologically. Even the health care workers are being affected. During infectious disease outbreaks, healthcare workers have suffered adverse psychological reactions. To learn whether this was true of the COVID-19 outbreak, researchers conducted a cross-sectional, geographically stratified survey of 1257 healthcare workers (39% physicians; 61% nurses; 72% of nurses had junior titles) from 34 hospitals (20 in Wuhan; 7 elsewhere inside Hubei province, and 7 outside the province).

The researchers used validated rating scales to assess anxiety, depression, insomnia, and distress/post-traumatic stress symptoms from January 29 to February 3, 2020, close to the Wuhan outbreak's peak. Overall, 42% were directly caring for patients with COVID-19. There were high rates of depression (50%), anxiety (45%), insomnia (34%), and distress (72%); median scores, however, barely reached the mild range. Symptoms were higher in nurses, women, people caring for COVID-19 patients, and those in Wuhan (symptoms were lowest outside Hubei). Of these higher-risk groups, 10% to 20% scored in the moderate or severe range. (Journal Watch, March 27, 2020)

COVID-19 is also a problem because in Bangladesh many people who are not even infected are being misdiagnosed and because of that they are losing lives. Some people are dying on the streets and no one is coming near to check whether that person is dead or alive. The biggest problem now is that the people who have other diseases are also not getting the proper care or medications. The older people are at high risk of dying if they get infected as their immune system is weak. Therefore, we all should look after each other in this time of crisis so that we can come out of this together.

Beyond health-related problems

The coronavirus pandemic death toll in Spain passed 10,000 on Thursday, as the country reported its highest single-day number of deaths since the outbreak began, with the total rising by more than 1,000 to 10,096 among 110,238 infections. These numbers are terrifying. Every day the numbers are increasing horrifyingly. The world has shut down. All the countries locked down their borders. Most European countries are washing their roads with disinfectant solutions. If we look at our country, things are very different. Yes, the government locked down our country and states but acting pretty funny. Government uses armed forces to make sure people stay home and nobody gets out without masks but the masks everybody uses are completely useless against any kind of viruses. Government not taking any major steps except pushing us inside. They are influencing home owners not to take rents but they are charging for electricity, gas, water bills. My dad passed away a couple of months ago. Our only income comes from the house rents now. What will people like us do? Job holders are getting paid in spite of staying home, but we the house owners are not. We are trying to be considerate towards them and provide as much food as we can to the people in need, but still, they are arguing not to take rents. I don’t know where the justice is in it. It is an international crisis. Everyone should take it very seriously and we need to be very clean, wash hands for 20 seconds every couple of hours. We should use masks, stop gatherings in public places, and maintain social distance. Only our consciousness can save us. But what will the daily-wage earners do? The big question still stays unanswered.

AUDIENCE ANALYSIS

An audienceanalysis is a process used to identify and understand the priority and influencing audiences. The priority and influencing audiences are those people whose behavior must change in order to be ensure inside home safety during COVID-19 crisis. In our Baseline Research we selected the people who live in Mohammadpur area as it is one of the hot spots for COVID-19 infected people. Therefore, our audience here are the people/families who live in this area and might get infected if not aware of the precautions that are necessary to take. There are 3 types of audiences in audience analysis. They are:

Primary Target Audience

Secondary Target Audience

Tertiary Target Audience
