any idea or information about it are unaware and not tense about
it...Some people don't worry about the Coronavirus who don't have any
information about it, and they just believe in Allah’s will for anything that
happens.
People are
very crowded in the camps, and some use masks whereas
some don't. Some don't maintain social distance and they just go to
gatherings without anxiety as they haven’t learnt about the Coronavirus.
Even with all these unaware acts that could enable the spread of
Coronavirus, the virus has still not appeared here.
A young unlicensed health practitioner, 22 years old, reported that a regular
seasonal flu had been spreading in the camps, and was confident that the recent
illness was not due to Covid-19. His view was echoed by many residents in the
camp, who observed that the illness must have been a flu as most people quickly

condition as Coronavirus. In fact, this is not Coronavirus that is spreading
in the camps. … People get mild fever, cough and body aches, which are
appearing due to the changes of the weather.

treatment for these mild diseases. For these diseases, it takes patients
five or seven days to become recovered by taking proper medicines. There
are some sorts of medicines manufactured by famous and quality
factories for these common diseases, but the medicines with different

patients with these diseases take the medicines for seven days properly,
the disease gets cured. These diseases appear every year.
This same practitioner shared that he was much more concerned with Hepatitis C,
which he estimated to be affecting the camps at a rate of 25-40 percent of the
patients (ranging from 25 to 60 years of age) who visited him. He requested the
international actors working in Cox’s Bazar to explain why there is not more
concern about the non-Covid-19 diseases affecting camp residents. Even though
