The public health network for preventing and
mitigating COVID 19 in Bangladesh
The following six areas have been identified as the priority areas for planning and action:

2. Coordination and planning preparedness Activate Control Rooms at the IEDCR and DGHS; ,Establish Technical Task Force to monitor
and coordinate all COVID-19 related information and activities; , Ensure direct contact and information sharing among the MOHFW,
WHO, other health partners and diplomatic community in Dhaka. , Provide leadership and support to the governmental multisector
coordination structures and efforts by formulating and, activating different national and regional committees. Identify national HR gaps,
develop plans to reposition the existing staff and to create specialized national HR rosters for surge capacity; Develop and disseminate
regular Outbreak Updates; Ensure active information sharing and engagement with all health partners and diplomatic community in
Dhaka; gain necessary support based on the comparative advantages of the UN agencies and partners; Planning for makeshift hospital and
selection including stock piling resources
3. Surveillance, Laboratory and PoEs preparedness Develop and disseminate COVID-19 case definition; Develop SOP, guideline and
provide trainings on case definitions to health professionals to enable timely detection of signs and symptoms of the disease Ensure alert
system is in place at PoEs, health care facilities (especially major hospitals);
4. Contact tracing and Quarantine preparedness Provide trainings to Rapid Response Teams (RRT) at national and subnational levels on
sample collection of respiratory pathogens; Equip all RRTs with PPEs; Disseminate the WHO definition of “contacts” Develop protocols
and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for contact tracing; Conduct contact tracing as per SOP
5. . Clinical management preparedness Designate and prepare public, private and alternate facilities to provide care and treatment for the case
management; Establish Intensive Care capacity at the divisional and district levels; Train Intensive Care Unit (ICU) staff; Develop
national guidelines and SoP for managing patients with COVID-19 symptoms at health facilities, self-care, referral. Establish referral
mechanisms for severe cases with comorbidities to specialized referral hospitals; Enhance Information management system (IMS) on
clinical management; Set up screening areas for respiratory diseases at all healthcare facilities, to ensure safe delivery of primary
healthcare services; Establish ambulatory service for management of severe acute respiratory infections; Maintain triage and screening
areas at all healthcare
6. Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) preparedness Ensure IPC programme is in place and is an integral part of the overall COVID-19
containment, prevention and control strategy; Revise and update the national IPC guidelines and SOPs as necessary; Develop national
training modules, identify trained trainers and conduct ToTs; Develop protocols for tracking healthcare personnel exposed to confirmed
cases of COVID 19 and monitoring them for symptoms compatible with COVID-19; Develop strategy for efficient management of the
 PPE supply stockpile, distribution and replenishment.Identify IPC HR surge capacity needs (numbers and competences). Promote triage,
infectioussource controls, administrative controls and engineering controls at all designated health facilities.
7. . Risk Communication preparedness Develop risk communication and community engagement plan and relevant SOPs; Identify HR
needs, train and prepare Risk Communication experts for surge capacity; Identify official MOHFW spokesperson(s) with adequate
communications skills and training, and sound public health expertise; Sensitize media on COVID-19 and related issues; Train healthcare
workers and sensitize volunteers on COVID19; Provide guidance to public and private hospitals and general physicians on COVID-19 and
ways to communicate about it/inform suspected and confirmed patients; Conduct a Knowledge, Attitude and Practice survey to
understand public perception and develop messages accordingly; Develop messages for the general public, health workers and those at
Points of Entry and disseminate through appropriate channels, including social media and healthcare volunteers; Disseminate messages
through media, social media and other means such as posters, radio and TV spots for awareness. Monitor public perceptions through
hotlines, media and social media; Detect and guard against the spread of rumors, myths and panic

Also there have some COMMITTEE FOR PREVENTION and those are interconnected to each other such as
NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR PREVENTION AND CONTROL
NATIONAL COORDINATION COMMITTEE FOR PREVENTION AND CONTROL
NATIONAL TECHNICAL COMMITTEE FOR PREVENTION AND CONTROL
COMMITTEE IN DIVISION LEVEL FOR PREVENTION AND CONTROL
COMMITTEE IN DISTRICT LEVEL FOR PREVENTION AND CONTROL
COMMITTEE IN UPAZILLA LEVEL FOR PREVENTION AND CONTROL
RAPID RESPONSE TEAMS

Glossary of pandemic terms Applications of digital technology in COVID-19 pandemic planning and response
Contact tracing: the process of identifying people who might have come into contact with an infected person
Containment: the use of available tools to restrict the spread of infection
Lockdown: the active restriction and control of the movement of people by governments
Incidence: the number of individuals who develop a condition during a particular time period
Mitigation: the action of reducing the severity of the pandemic
Per-capita mortality: a measure of deaths in a particular population, scaled to the size of that population
Quarantine: the process of isolating and restricting the movement of potentially exposed or infected people
Screening: assessing for signs of disease in an apparently asymptomatic population
Testing: using medical procedures to confirm a diagnosis in individuals suspected of having a diseass
Tracking: monitoring the spread of infection across locations
Planning and Implementation of Community-Based Management of COVID-19
We propose a three-tier system of community-based management of COVID-19 with a primary health care approach:
a) Tier I (Center for public health planning and implementation): Local Self Government (Village level Panchayatiraj Institutions/ Urban
Local bodies)
b) Tier II (Center of medical management of COVID-19 in the community): CHC (Community Health Center or the first referral center)
c) Tier III (Center of IEC planning, Surveillance, and Inter-sectoral/ Inter-agency coordination): District.
So this health network system can preventing and mitigating COVID 19 in bangladesh this Way.
