Confirmed to have Covid-19 infection on June 6

MOH also announced that Case 38238 passed away on June 25.

Case 38238 was a 27-year-old male Bangladeshi national who was confirmed to have Covid-19 infection on June 6.

The cause of death was multiple injuries consistent with those resulting from a fall from height.

Case 38238's death was not added to the Covid-19 death count, as only cases where the attending doctor or pathologist attributes the primary or underlying cause of death as due to Covid-19 infection will be counted.

The health ministry previously clarified that this is consistent with international practice for classifying deaths.
