This novel pathogenic virus emerged in Wuhan, China, and has rapidly spread around the world,1 with 210 countries, including Bangladesh, reporting more than 2.4 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, leading to 169,006 deaths as of April 22, 2020.2 Many developed countries in the world have imposed uniquely severe isolation measures in an attempt to attenuate the mortality and disease transmission of the virus, and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the situation a public health emergency of international concern.
