Journal Title: Nursing & Healthcare International Journal - Year 2024, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
COVID-19 was the worst devastation of the current century that undermined health, the economy, and daily life. This study assessed the status and correlates of SARS-CoV-2 testing, infection, recovery, and death from March 2020 to January 2023 (N=1061 days) to comprehensively understand Bangladesh’s position toward COVID-19. The study obtained data from various government agencies. Total cases, infections, recoveries, and deaths during the study period were 13119034, 1988858, 1854732, and 33301, respectively. In 2020, the total cases, infections, recoveries, and deaths were 2390782, 462586, 365235 and 6582. In 2021, total cases, infections, recoveries, and deaths were 6633977, 1004738, 1004738, 10919,591,591, and 5928. Infections, recoveries, and deaths were 1690239, 91421, 168047 and 391. In 2023, total cases, infections, recoveries, and deaths were 69942, 436, 4201, and 0. Results revealed a moderate association between testing and infection, moderate to strong correlations between infection and testing, recovery and testing, and death and testing. Test vs infected, recovery, and death were significant at 0.00 and 0.01 where the mean was 12478.66, 12517.66, and 14383.63. Infected versus recovered, mortality was significant at 0.00 and 0.05 while the mean was 39.01, 1904.98. Recovery versus mortality was significant at 0.00 where the mean was 1865.97. SARS-CoV-2 spread throughout Bangladesh and affected sixty-four districts. The continued incidence of COVID-19 infection has emphasized the importance of rapid accurate and advanced laboratory diagnostics to limit its spread. In such a situation, people avoided public gatherings and returned home after finishing work as soon as possible. A major factor in mitigating the impact of Corona was widespread vaccination across the country.
