The gov’t of Bangladesh has included Rohingya refugees in its #COVID19 response and national #vaccination plan. This approach is key for both Bangladeshis and refugees to curb the spread of the deadly virus. #OnlyTogether

Sokina, a Bangladeshi from Ukhiya, first interacted with #Rohingya #refugees when she was admitted to a #COVID19 treatment centre. “I didn’t have my family with me, so the other patients became like a family to me,” she recalled. https://t.co/eyQlrYYZmE
