BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has finally tested negative for Covid-19, 27 days after she was found infected with the deadly virus.
”Madam underwent a Covid test on Saturday and her report came out negative,” the BNP chief’s medical board member Dr AZM Zahid Hossain said on Sunday.
Though her overall condition marked little improvements, she is still being given oxygen support. Her oxygen level is coming down to 90 percent when there’s no oxygen support, another physician of her medical board said.
Wishing anonymity, the physician further said though the amount of fluid in her lungs has decreased, It’s still being extracted from her lungs which is now a matter of concern.
He said the BNP chief’s blood sugar level is gradually coming under control while pain in her joints has relieved significantly.
The 76-year-old BNP chief, who tested positive for Covid-19 for the second time on April 24, was admitted to Evercare Hospital on April 27 for a thorough health checkup.
