Young girl crying while taking a PCR test

Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh Three-year-old Ismat came to the Rohingya camp’s health care facility in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, for a COVID-19 test on 21st July 2020. Ismat’s mother, Sanowara, brought the child, as she suspects both her daughters got infected after coming in contact with her father-in-law, who has tested positive and is now in isolation. As of 23 August 2020, six Rohingya refugees had died from COVID-19, and 88 members of the community had tested positive for the virus. However, these numbers were based on tests conducted on 3,931 refugees, which is less than 1 percent of the Rohingya population in the camps.
