The US has thanked the Bangladeshi government for its tremendous efforts to ramp up production of personal protective equipment and deliver those to the country during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic before they really could get their feet underneath.
 
"It’s a little-known fact but I had the chance to thank the Bangladeshi government," said US Deputy Secretary of State Stephen E Biegun during a telephonic briefing on Tuesday.

He said Bangladesh did it before they really could get their feet underneath to produce these kinds of important protective equipment for their medical professionals.
