Planning Minister MA Mannan has been diagnosed with the Covid-19, reports bdnews24.com.
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, on Tuesday.
"After feeling feverish a couple of days ago, he underwent the test upon his doctor's advice," he told the news agency.
The result returned positive on Monday, though he showed mild symptoms of the disease, Mr Rahman said, adding that the minister immediately opted for treatment considering that his age could put him at risk.
Mannan's condition was stable at the moment, he added.
