Covid-19 claimed 36 more lives and infected 1,376 others in 24 hours till Wednesday morning.

The latest cases were detected after testing 28,736 samples, that showed a slight increase in the daily case positivity rate -- from Tuesday's 4.69 percent to 4.79 percent, said the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS).

On Tuesday, the country witnessed the lowest case positivity rate in around six months.

Bangladesh eased its lockdown restrictions on August 11, even though public health experts warned of the Delta variant spread.

On September 12, after nearly 18 months, primary, secondary and higher secondary schools in Bangladesh reopened with a slew of Covid-safety protocols in place.
