Dr Khurshid Alam said this in response to a question from reporters after visiting Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital on Saturday.
The Director General said, "Restrictions had
been imposed on the advice of the Health Ministry as coronavirus infections were on the rise. We will request that the ban be lifted once the infection has subsided. But the ongoing restrictions will remain in place until further notice. For now, no new restrictions will be imposed.
The DG further said, 'MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital is the largest medical facility in the Sylhet region. The patient pressure is high as the health care is well provided here.
