The wife and a son of Ganashasthya Kendra Founder and Trustee Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury have tested positive for coronavirus.
Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury himself tested positive for novel coronavirus on May 25.
Ganashasthya Samaj Vittik Medical College Emeritus Professor Dr Syed Anwarul Hafiz confirmed the matter on Sunday.
Talking to the media, Dr Zafrullah said his wife Shirin Parveen Haque and son Barish Hasan Chowdhury were tested with the same Rapid Dot Blot kit developed by Gonoshasthaya Kendra at its laboratory, and both were found positive for the virus.
The Gonoshasthaya Kendra founder said Shirin has been suffering from coughing and fever and she received treatment at the hospital today (Sunday).
However, his son has been in isolation at their Dhanmondi residence as he has no complication.
Zafrullah, a freedom fighter, said his fever has subsided, but he is still suffering from a cough and breathing problems.
He said he has been given oxygen support at the Gonoshasthaya Kendra hospital as his saturation level is falling.
Zafrullah urged all to pray for him and his family members so that they can recover fast.
