Chief Justice Hasan Foez Siddique has tested positive for coronavirus.
He is currently undergoing treatment at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) hospital.
He was hospitalized late on Wednesday, a day after his wife Dalia Firoz was admitted there with the coronavirus, according to several media reports.
The chief justice was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday after testing positive for the coronavirus, BSMMU Director Brig Gen Md Nazrul Islam Khan told BDNEWS24.
In his absence, Justice Md Nuruzzaman will act as the head of Bangladesh’s top court, overseeing an appellate bench of five.
The High Court and the Appellate Division has been operating virtually since Wednesday amid the fresh surge in Covid cases.
