The minister was admitted to the Combined Military Hospital after testing positive for the virus, said Md Shahedur Rahman, a spokesman for the planning ministry.

“After feeling feverish a couple of days ago, he underwent the test upon his doctor’s advice,” Rahman told bdnews24.com.

The result returned positive on Monday, though he showed mild symptoms of the disease, he said pointing out that Minister Mannan immediately opted for treatment considering that his age could put him at risk.
