AG's Department to resume work

25 Apr 2020

The Attorney General's (AG) Department will resume work after it was sealed off over coronavirus risks. The AG’s Coordinating Officer State Counsel Nishara Jayaratne today said that the DG health Services had authorized the initiation of the resumption of work in par with operational guidelines for Covid-19 . The AG yesterday (24) sought clearance from relevant authorities to open the AG’s Department in order to resume work. The request came after PCR tests carried out on private security officers had come back negative for Covid-19. PCR tests carried out  after lady security officer attached to the AG’s Department had tested positive for COVID-19 at the Infectious Diseases Hospital (IDH) in Angoda last week. Following the incident, the AG’s Department was closed off and security officers who supposedly had contact with the lady security officer were subject to PCR tests. Steps were also taken by the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) to disinfect the premises.
