By Maheesha Mudugamuwa Despite the increasing numbers of Covid-19-positive patients within the country and Covid-19-related deaths, Co-Cabinet Spokesman and Minister of Plantations Dr. Ramesh Patirana yesterday (27) reiterated that there was no direct social transmission of the virus within the country.

Commenting further on the Government’s decision to self-quarantine the first contacts of Covid-19-positive patients, Dr. Pathirana noted that the decision was taken considering the capacities of the quarantine centres islandwide. “The authorities would be continuously monitoring those who are sent on self-quarantine and there won’t be any patient who will not be monitored by public health inspectors (PHIs) and medical officers of health (MOHs),” he added.
