  • Delivers ominous warning to public
State Minister of Primary Health Care, Epidemics, and Covid-19 Disease Control Dr. Sudarshini Fernandopulle urged the public to not leave their homes unless urgently required to do so. Noting that the detection rate of Covid-19 infections has increased by 30%, while deaths have increased by close to 50%, she said: “The only solution for Covid-19 is to prevent the disease from spreading. This month is very risky; stay home.” She was speaking to the media following the Gampaha District Covid-19 Control Committee meeting, where she added: “My opinion does not matter. Decision-makers will make decisions. But the country is at risk. Do not wait for the Government and the Ministry of Health. The value of your life is yours. Protect your family; don’t wait until a lockdown is imposed, or someone makes rules. Learn to protect yourself. Follow the health guidelines as told. Stop all unnecessary travel. Stop unwanted parties. Stop visiting relatives unnecessarily. This is to protect oneself. This is a matter of life and death.”
