Badda’s Shafiqul Islam (55) has been suffering from fever for the last one week. He had come to Mugda General Hospital around 7am yesterday to get himself tested. But tickets wouldn’t be given out until 9:40am, and the waiting started getting to Shafiqul. Around 8:30am, he fell quite unwell and had to lie down on this rickshaw van, next to the gate of the hospital. He was later discovered and taken to the emergency room by journalists and Ansar personnel. With the recent rise in Covid-19 cases, incidents like this may rise too unless proper measures are taken to make testing more patient-friendly. Photo: Anisur Rahman
