Preface:
Corona virus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, which started in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, have turned into a pandemic. Bangladesh have started the preparation to control and contain the pandemic in the country since January 2020 based on National Preparation and Response Plan. As a part of the preparation process, a guideline on clinical management was developed by Bangladesh Society of Medicine late January, 2020. To further update the document with the latest evidence and the WHO guidelines, we have prepared this Guidelines on Clinical Management of COVID-19. Many esteemed clinicians and public health specialists have contributed to the development of the guidelines. We are grateful for their contribution. We request every clinician/hospital, who will treat COVID-19 ‘confirmed’, ‘probable’, or ‘suspect’ cases, to follow the guidelines. This is a living document. We will update the guidelines from time to time to incorporate latest evidence and recommendations of WHO. We welcome every suggestion and feedback on this document.
