Denied treatment by at least four hospitals and clinics, five-year-old Shaon lies dead on a gurney at Chattogram Medical College Hospital yesterday. A three-wheeler hit the child while he was playing along a road near his home in the city’s Steel Mills area. Shaon’s grandfather wails on the floor while his father tries to calm him. The child died after around 15 minutes of reaching the public hospital.

So far, they have performed the last rites and burials for 680 suspected and confirmed Covid-19 victims. The photo was taken yesterday at Rayerbazar burial grounds.
