The main aim of the paper is to assess whether vitamin C, vitamin D, and natural honey can be administered in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic for promising in line methods with recent evidence. Both systematic literature and clinical trial identification were conducted by searching various databases. A total 58 articles and 29 clinical trials were selected wherein 11 for vitamin C, 16 for vitamin D, and 2 for natural honey were identified for analysis. The high doses of vitamin C (i.e. '200 mg/kg body weight/day, divided into 4 doses') has been found to reduce COVID-19 lung damage, various flu infections. Additionally, the high doses of vitamin C can shorten around 7.8% stay in the intensive care unit. At the same time, vitamin D can effectively protect from lung injury and acute respiratory infections whereas vitamin D deficiency severely affects 75% of the institutionalized people (serum 25(OH) D < 25 nmol/L). Meanwhile, natural honey which contains proteins (0.1-0.4%); ash (0.2%); water (15-17%) has potential antiviral effects and the ability to improve immunity. Therefore, the administration of vitamins and honey is the promising evidence-based approach for reducing fatalities, saving lives, and bringing the COVID-19 pandemic to a rapid end. It is believed that the utilization of vitamin C, vitamin D, and natural honey with the current treatment may be effective in treating COVID-19-caused fatal complications such as pneumonia. Therefore, high-level clinical studies are required on COVID-19 to administrate the effects of vitamins and natural honey.

The utilization of disinfection booths in public places is a great threat for health. During the current COVID-19 pandemic, we noticed disinfection booths in public places of some countries, i.e., Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Turkey. Among these countries, disinfection booths are the most rapidly utilized machine in many public places along with government and non-government organizations in order to minimize the spreading rate of COVID-19. Basically, the installation of a disinfection booth is one attempt to disinfect passengers and avoid cross-infection inside the premises (Khan 2020). Such booths offer a 20-30-second overhead disinfectant shower. According to WHO, it can work on the surface but not on the human body and even has a harmful effect on the human body (Tamilarasu 2020). Therefore, WHO, US Centers for Disease Control (US CDC), Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, and governments of different nations already recommended to stop using this type of booth, but it is still used in some countries, including Bangladesh.

This paper described how Forcedly Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMN) Rohingya women and girls coped with difficulties during the pandemic in Cox's Bazar refugee camps. The purpose of this study is to assess the ongoing issues, coping mechanisms, and psychosocial conditions during the pandemic. This research used Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and indepth interview, the researcher's own observation, as well as secondary data sources. The findings suggested that FDMN women faced tremendous difficulties due to a lack of food/non-food item (NFI) and unusable facilities. Despite humanitarian organizations providing extensive psychosocial support to FDMN women and girls through friendly spaces for women and girls and they volunteered in the absence of employees due to lockdown, the women faced issues related to the expectation based on their traditional role. This paper concluded that activities that can improve the psychosocial health as well as intervention for the community and increased women and girls' engagement for empowerment in decision making about their role as a woman in order to reduce their vulnerabilities to domestic violence is important. Also, FDMN men and boys should be exposed to awareness program to prevent gender-based violence.
