Bangladeshis did not go to Italy with fake COVID19 certificates
Dhaka, 16 July 2020:
Attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been drawn to the news published by some newspapers and broadcast by some news channels regarding detection of Coronavirus among some Bangladeshi expatriates in Italy. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs would like to flag that the around 1,600 Bangladeshis who went to Italy recently did not carry fake COVID19 negative certificates. Some of these passengers on their own carried COVID19 negative certificates just in case they required those subsequently. The Italian Government has not yet put any condition to carry COVID19 negative certificates for travelling to Italy.
Unfortunately, some Bangladeshis who travelled to Italy in the recent days did not follow the mandatory quarantine rule, and probably a few of them might have spread the virus in the community. In the last one week, out of 5,000 tests, 65 Bangladeshis resident in the Lazzio region of Italy have been detected with COVID19. The Government of Italy has decided to conduct COVID19 tests for all Bangladeshis (around 30,000) living in the Lazzio region, in coordination with the Embassy of Bangladesh in Rome.
Regarding the ban on flights from Bangladesh to Italy, it may please be noted that flights from Bangladesh, along with 12 other countries, have been suspended by the Italian authorities till 31 July 2020.
