Covid-19 among inmates: Spreading at fast pace

06 Dec 2020

By Maheesha Mudugamuwa  The Sri Lanka Association of Medical Laboratory Technologists yesterday (6) alleged that the Covid-19 virus was spreading among the inmates of the Welikada Prison at a very fast pace and it is not practical to face it with PCR tests alone. Association President Ravi Kumudesh said that it was a wrong decision to stop antibody testing at present and as a result, inmates who are not currently infected would also become infected. He emphasised the need to expedite the process of identifying patients and examining all inmates at the Welikada Prison, considering the status and size of the inmates, adding that only the mobile laboratory – the instantaneous antibody method – could be used as the best alternative. Kumudesh also alleged that prisoners being transferred between prisons, despite instructions from the Ministry of Health against this, was also causing the spread of Covid-19 among inmates. He also said that more attention should be paid to prisoners suffering from tuberculosis, AIDS, and mental illness in prisons.
