The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) are located in southeastern Bangladesh, a very remote and inaccessible region because it is surrounded by a mountainous and mountainous geography. The teams reside Each of these individual communities has its own culture, traditions, ideals and identity.
The indigenous peoples of the CHT face many socio-economic, fitness and educational challenges; in some remote areas, there are no roads, means of transport and cellular networks; in addition, the literacy rate is very low, with a maximum of illiterate adults.
Most people make a living from grazing and burning agriculture, however, as a result of soil and climate conversion, this profession is becoming less profitable. The livelihood of the community depends heavily on the season. There are 6 seasons in total in Bangladesh, and 3 of those seasons pose specific situations demanding for the community. In winter, it’s incredibly embedded and other people find it hard to run out of good enough clothes. In summer or dry season, lack of water resources becomes a problem. Finally, the rainy season, many spaces are flooded, which causes the roads to become sludge and landslides occur. This season, it is also difficult to locate a homework task, and infected water increases rates of waterborne diseases such as malaria, typhoid fever. and dysentery.
Given the remote surroundings and vulnerable scenario of CHT’s Aboriginal communities, these communities are likely to be severely affected by herbal errors and pandemics, such as COVID-19.
They have an effect on COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected indigenous communities around the world. However, the local practices, beliefs, traditions and customs of CHT’s indigenous communities have created an exclusive and critical situation. These communities did not have access to detailed data on COVID-19. However, when they learned that COVID-19 is a deadly disease, concern led indigenous communities to make decisions to build fences and not allow anyone to go out or enter villages. If a user has symptoms, they remain in a separate space outside the village gates. Anyone who violates the rules is fined and punished according to social customs.
The indigenous peoples of CHT seek attention from the local healer, known as boidya. The boidya lives in the net and charges remedy fees, which depend on the patient’s scenario and the ability to pay. These healers can sacrifice cows, pigs, goats or chickens as a component of their remedy.
There are many demanding situations to align official government policies with the aboriginal wisdom that is largely appropriate in the community. In addition, there are no effective services or centers for these communities to have access to masks, hand washing or hand sanitist. Because these resources are not available, members of these communities do not perceive the importance of these products.
Even within these vulnerable communities, some teams are more affected by COVID-19 than others, particularly children, nursing mothers and pregnant women face disorders of nutrition, intellectual fitness and physical treatment, disorders that are further aggravated by the Services that solve these disorders are closed to prevent transmission of COVID-19.
Many families have also experienced food crises because they can’t paint outdoors or go outside because of the closure, instead Americans had to go to hotels to look for food within the confines of the community.

Martina Tripura has recently faced many demanding situations as a result of adjustments made as a result of COVID-19, which have had a negative effect on her intellectual aptitude and private lifestyle. She’s remote at home, can she? I can’t go to school, I can’t talk to those who are outdoors all over the world and participate in social activities, and I can’t access medical facilities, even to buy menstrual products.
Due to the sudden onset of COVID, these Americans cannot physically be with their families. Its entire network faces many challenges, adding a food crisis, lack of medical services, deteriorating economic progression, and concern about COVID-19 transmission. As a result, COVID-19 has left the network powerless and vulnerable and predicts that even after the COVID-19 pandemic, others will have more disorders with equality, humanitarian services, progression and social harmony.
